I own my gti outright put done a big deposit borrowed of vw the remainder to get 2 years free servicing then six months later paid it off saving £sssss on interest we all do things our own way if there wasn't different ways to buy cars the motor trade would be in the brown and smelly  :tongue:

I got mine on finance as an apprentice over 5 years. Since coming out of my time I have been paying more and more off. By the time it will be paid off it will be 25months. Guess it depends on patience! save and buy outright. Or other methods  :smiley:

Well mine will be going up for sale very soon.  :cry:

But sticking with the VW trend and going for a 3dr DSG R. Had an R32 MKiV previously and miss the 4wd.

I'll be sticking around in the forum though. Great community!

Just been to look at some cars with the in-laws, I have to say the A3 Sportback is a top quality car.

I've several friends who lease their cars and constantly whine about actually driving them because they don't want to use up their annual mileage allowance. This seems daft. I buy my cars outright generally.

Been looking too and would agree but crikey it's expensive compared to its Leon/Octavia/Golf siblings....not sure if the badge justifies the additional cost.

The redesign of the Leon onto the new MQB platform has made a real improvement to the overall package of this car and it looks great value by comparison.

I'm in a hire car once a week and last week I had a Leon, I was very impressed with the interior quality. Better than the MK6 IMO but not a patch on the A3 I was in on Sunday.

Would you pay an additional £5-6k over the Leon though for the A3....that' a great 2 week holiday in the USA......

I really want a Transporter to customise and make my own. A 180, DSG, 4 Motion, twin Sliding doors, sunroof, tailgate model! Was about to order one when I stalled and bought the gti instead as I just didn't need something that big. Trying my hardest to insert a baby into the wife because I'll definitely need one then  :grin: :grin:
