Now that is funny!

Autocar ran a road test of the mk 5 GT TDI (or whatever they're calling it this week) a few weeks ago, running the DSG box.

It had a few extra's lumped on, including full leather, sat-nav, xenons, metallic paint and an electric roof.

The on-the-road price was an eye-watering ?24k

Bare in mind that the GTi will be better equipped (and therefore more expensve) a similarly spec'd GTi will probably be ?25k.

Pardon my french, but does anyone else think that's f*cking ridiculous money?! You can buy a lot of metal for that sort of cash, motors that either fall into a class above, or have a siginifacnt performance advantage.

A quick "new car" search on the autotrader site for cars costing ?25k showed some very appealing results.
?25,000 will get you a BRAND NEW:

Subaru Imprezza
C Class Turbo Diesel Mercedes
Vauxhall VX220
Ford F150
Chrysler Crossfire (drool)
Honda S2000
Mazda RX8
3 series bimmers (eh, no thanks but still..)
Audi TT !! (serious family competition there)
Lexus IS

The list goes on and on... even makes the mk4 R32 look overpriced doesnt it.

I thought the idea of The Golf GTI, was an affordable performance car for the masses! Obviously "the masses" are earning far more than they are letting on. :-\
