£32300...... Wtf
-
Haaaaaa actually laughed out loud at this, couldnt agree more. I juat cant see what "new" about it. I have never been a fan of them. Plus, how or why would you pay more for this than a 7r. No brainer imo. But i do believe there is more as standard
-
there isnt many options you need to add by the looks of it but its old tech.
yes you get a satnav as standard but its RNS315 from a mk2 leon, no ACC and CC is an extra, so is hill hold which just annoys me as that should be standard kit.
And most importantly, no MQB!

Crazy money for Cupra performance in old chassis tech, without 4wd, but with Vienna leather and DCC as standard. It looks very poor value next to the Golf R. Had 2 Sciroccos and loved them, but too many cars out there copying the looks and ride comfort on MQB platform is noticeably superior. This will look very poor value next to new TT, unless their prices are hiked massively too (although Scirocco can comfortably fit 2.adults in the back).
-
does it mention the diff?
-
i don't even think its got the same engine as the R or Cupra (all be it same power)
Interesting is DCC has same level of functionality
my mk6 35 was a way better car than the rocco, the 7R is just in a different league
-
you're right, the fuel consumption is too high, wonder if they've put any new hardware on it or if its just a measily map

The next TT is potentially looking very very expensive. Going by the prices on the German Audi site your looking at £31,000 for the 2.0l Quattro s-tronic and closer to £40,000 for the TTS :shocked: :shocked:

For so many people, the sticker price is surely irrelevant isn't it? Many people have posted on here about how they can drive around in whatever car for so much a month. So as long as the residuals are strong and the overall cost of the finance deal is affordable, that's all that most people are bothered about. It's only when all the money comes from your account in one go that it might smart a bit.
I'm surprised there aren't any deals on the Scirroco by now however. It's due to be replaced and about time. I've thought it has been old hat for a couple of years or more.
-
This is the replacement tho, won't be any deals on a "new" model. You'd have to be an idiot to buy this, everything is old.
-
Oh. I didn't realise.
My comments regarding the way people fund their cars still applies tho'.
-
I did see the new TTS vs S3 pricing for your extra 10ps - very pricey. Maybe a new wave of Audi pricing corrections is on it's way? For the last 5 years (when the mk6 golf came in at 20% more than the outgoing mk5), VW prices have climbed higher than Audi, not leaving much of a gap. Maybe Audis are about to become expensive again (relative to VW)?
Sticker price may not seem hugely relevant these days, but if you add thousands to the RRP, you're still going to have to stump up around half in depreciation for.a 3 year term of ownership, absorbed in monthly PCP or rental fees.

Hence the slagging off of the car, i wouldnt be slagging off the old one i actually like it, but this is more than R without any new toys
-
How much!!! - that is plain daft!

They're just trying to dress it up with the 'more as standard' spec, but as the saying goes, 'you can't make a silk purse of a sow's ear' :wink:
Totally pointless and up against an R - it's a no-brainer.
-
So when they say 'new', they really mean face lifted. This may mean that it is a run out model and a new MQB car will be on the way.
-
Specced one last night - just under £35k :shocked: Makes the Golf R look like a steal! Unsure of VW's strategy on this one, it's a lovely car but totally overpriced, and as someone has also said it's got loads of old tech in the cabin - doesn't make sense!

I had a GT170 Rocco and I loved it ( although not quite enamoured with the steering ). Whilst with the facelift they've added xenon's and LED's I don't think it looks as good. The original is a great looking car, always a head turner, but overall I am much more impressed with the Golf GTI - more so for excellent steering.
