Ouch! a tat expensive for a golf? It’s starting to sound like taking the biscuit when you add on some basic options and on that......
Noticed you get LED lights as standard on the R2, BUT FOR A £29,000 basic car, and then they CHARGE for cruise control AND worst of all
ACC as an OPTION!!! For £29k and the fact it's a Golf R I'd expect ACC to be included!!!
The price for the GTI is ok (some say a little high but if you shop about you can get a good deal), but but the price for the Golf R is nuts, I don't think from the front even looks as good as the GTI. I even think the mark V R32 looks better (in blue) and would prob sounds better also.
I was at first toying with the idea of one of the last new R32 runs, a Mrk6GTI or wait for the R. When I got a heads up on the expected price of about £28k to £30k by a VW dealer I went for the Mark 6 GTI (which I think looks way better). My other non Golf option was for a 335i saloon (which ok cost more but with a couple of deals on the cards was not bad value, but I'm a kid at heart and wanted a hot hatch again but with 5 doors for the little one!
It's not can't afford a Golf R. It's actually the feeling getting ripped off which I don't like, and that's not what you're supposed to feel like in a car like the R.
