Were the FK8(?) models around the same list price as a GTI Clubsport mk8?

(2021) Prices start at £34,415 for the Type-R. The Sport Line costs from £35,400 and the GT from £36,415.

So yes, a 10k hike on the GT.

Was pretty much Mk8 clubby price and as I said the discounts were zero and the PCP terrible.

Which as it turns out is less of a problem now - one would probably sell second hand for upwards of 32k... hindsight is a wonderfu thing  :whistle:
