I'm sure its not just me but how many R's v GTi's do you see in a week ?
Although the silly lease deals have no doubt dried up, I am sure that the R doesn't cost much more per month than a GTi PP with the same deposit so presumably that is why a lot of people go for it rather than the GTi ?
I could have had an R for a lot less "per month" than the CS but the monthly cost wasn't the driver for me. I read in autocar that these days almost nobody looks at the total list price of a car ( I must be one of the few that does), simply the monthly PCP payment because they are so popular now.
