Out of curiosity, did anyone ever get any contribution (or discount) for a new factory order Golf GTI TCR? The TRC seems quite similar to the Edition 50 in that it's meant to be on sale for 1 year, rather than a production cap. I also wonder when the last TCR UK order was taken, that might help shed some light on if this first allocation being the only allocation message is true or not.

Massive fan of the Belvedere wheels on TCR, even more than the Reifnitz PP option!

I am holding off for now. The cost to change from my TCR which I am still enjoying and which doesn’t seem to loose much money is too much.

There were no discounts on the TCR at the start and that was limited period of sales just the same so think this will be the same.

I am guessing edition 50 runs til end of the year when there will be a small gap before the 2.5 comes in for a year, also limited time to buy.

So, if we get discounts I will probably, if not I may wait and go for a 2.5r. So not worried if they don’t discount the 50.

I'm looking for an 8 CS at the moment (if anyone is selling let me know)

Some of the advertised spec is clearly wrong, is there a site I can pop in the reg and find out what the factory options were?

im on my 3rd VW group car with a soundaktor

on the 2 diesels it was actually a bit funny cos it was so fake.

On the GTI there were times I thought i had a mechanical issue due to the noise from the thing.

all 3 switched off with vcds.

but nothing most other modern cars (bmw etc)

This is true.... VW were kinda out there with the Mk8 and the ID3 as the first of the "computers on wheels" designs but that was a long time ago now and everyone else caught up.

Doesn't matter where you look, you'll find anyone making a modern car is similarly plagued with bugs in a way that straight mechanics and solid state electronics never were... its just that we didn't realise it at the time.

Avoid the 21st century by buying some old crap. Series 1 defender anyone?
