A dealer has contacted me today offering £4.5k off the tcr. It’s really odd. Some dealers aren’t even giving the £1500 contribution and others giving loads off. Seems like they don’t have clear info from Vw concerning the finances of the car.
Current: Clubsport45, white, DCC.

Past: Mk5 gti blue graphite, mk6 gti carbon grey, mk6 gti edition 35 candy white, Mk7 pp gti tornado red, 2016 Audi S3 sportback, 2019 7.5 Golf R.

Is that pre VAT discount before the £1500 finance ?

Including the finance contribution. I’m sticking with the R. I couldn’t buy a car that I can’t test drive.

TCR reviewed in April Evo, overall positive 4/5

However, MK5 GTI and Clubsport S get 5/5

“ Firm ride. No, not firm.. taut”
Followed by some absolute gobbledygook about an underlying resistance to unwanted movements blah blah.
Now I know why I stopped reading this bloody rubbish.
The gist of the piece is it’s a good car but could’ve been better

A company called 21st century motors are saying they will have the TCR to lease for £320pm. Someone’s tweeted the info to me so I don’t know anything else.

For that cost it'll be + VAT, a 9+ or 12+ profile, and over 3 or 4 years.

The tweet says inc VAT and no deposit but I’d be surprised to say the least. What does that say for residuals?

Here’s a question we’ve not asked or answered yet.

I was all set on a 3dr golf. However as I’ve still not ordered yet due to not working out if it’s really the ‘one’ to have over a GTI PP

But looking at a lot of video reviews over the weekend I think if I’m going to order one it will be 5dr.

What’s everyone opinion ? 3dr or 5dr ?


The race car is actually made from a 5dr shell.
