Look at the price of this. Hilarious!!! I predict they'll sell precisely none of them.

Awesome

i reckon they will be popular with the yummy mummies of battersea who need a bit more space than a mini
-
Only had my Edition 35 for 5 weeks but I'm tempted to swap....
no one from here has posted that on the VW UK Facebook page have they? :grin:
-
the can't sell the standard golf cabrio for move nor money so i know.. lets stick 5-10k on the asking price and it will sell! :rolleyes:
-
Oh dear, another hair dressers car...
-
I've got one on order. I'm very offended by all of your comments :angry:
-
I reckon they'll sell every one they make, and there will be a 5 month + waiting list.
Far better looking than the Aldi A3 Convertible...and you see plenty of those about.
-
By way of comparison an Aldi TT 210 starts at £27k. An ALdi A3 with the same engine can be had for £25k
BMW 125 cabriolet for similar money?
Plus some beautiful nearly new 3 series convertibles at that money and less.
I seriously cannot think of one single reason that would persuade e to spend £30k on that car. Sheer madness!!!
-
Sorry - Aldi TT Roadster starts at £29k. I looked up the Coupe by mistake.
Still cheaper though.

Marketing men got to love them.
Have the same sales/ marketing women/men were I work drive engineers nuts

I like it and think it will sell, there appeared to be plenty of MK1 GTI cabrio's sold in the late eighties. My wife had an Eos 2.0 TFSI for a couple of years and if the Golf GTI cabrio is as good as that it will be a great car. However I wouldn't swap it for my ED35.

I've been seeing quite a few of the standard cabrios around Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Surrey. It's roughly £4K more than a basic GTI and personally I'd choose an Ed35 or R, but there are plenty out there who will buy one.

Without the sales and marketing, there'd just be a load of engineers sitting around with good ideas and no money :wink:

And a 2 seater.
The Aldi A3 may be cheaper...but it's frumpy and has none of the visual styling of the Golf GTI.
I'm sure it'll sell.

You'd be pissed spending 30k on one and the UK as normal having a wet summer! :grin:

You'd have to be pissed to spend 30k on one :grin:

I think it'll sell. I've seen a good number of Golf cabriolet's around where I live (about 5 or 6 so far) which isn't too bad at all I think. It's more than I saw of Golf GTI's within a similar time period from release. My qualification however is that I don't think the GTI version will necessarily sell that well. Anyone who wants a convertible Golf will probably be happy with one of the 1.4 TSI options or go for a diesel under a company car scheme.
I think it's a very desirable car however. It's main rival has got to be the TT which I imagine - despite GTI spec - will still be a bit better to drive however as has been said the TT will lose out on the practicality front.
It could have been worse. Imagine a convertible R? :laugh:

Would create a whole new genre of Hair-do!

Nice car, would be nicer in something thats not red.
I'd pay £30k, but then again, I'm not a whiney b!tch with no money.

An open top car always cost more than the hardtop equivalent except Porsche (Boxster vs Cayman). An extra 5-10% is what one will expected to pay extra for wind in the air motoring. Adding all the options up this Golf will cost £35000+. You might argue getting an A3 or 1 series cabriolet but their option will cost even more. However, I think the Golf will suffer savage depreciation compare with Beemer or cars with the Olympic rings as I still think the VW badge at this level will lose out more. For this reason, Im afraid my next new car wouldn't be a GTI with these prices! If I fancy a MK7 gti, it will be a used one!

Townie, open car = plonker
Country Bumpkin, open car = bumpkin
I've got 2; one hard top, one soft top = super bumpkin
