From my point of view anyway - At 20 - 25 K the GTI had the market sewn up as as it was a great car which was within the reach of a lot of people cost wise. Now pushing the GTI into the 26 - 35 K bracket opens a can of worms as i think that it is starting to become too expensive for a lot of people and the ones who can afford it have a massive list of great cars to choose from in that price band.

At Mk 5 prices the golf was the only choice for a fast well made hatch with a great image. Not any more................well not at these prices anyway.

It's three and a half years away yet so there's plenty of time for things to change. But you get my drift?

VW are moving things on though so it would make sense the prices will rise. The quality and build is better than some bmw's i have been in!

It's funny the way some of you lot go on about prices - it's 2010, not 2005. Anyway, those of you who have bought more than one new car in the last five years have probably lost far more in depreciation than the £1500 extra a new GTI will cost now compared to last summer. If you're that worried about money, try keeping your car for more than 30% of its design life.

The prices People are paying though,
have gone up a lot more than £1500 (as most people were getting big discounts off list in the summer)
you'll still get 9-10% off list on a new 30k Beemer.

I wouldn't be buying a 1 series diesel. They're horrible.

I'd be buying something with 6 cylinders and beginning with 3 at least. Maybe a year old maximum. I nearly bought a 3 series coupe before I got my GTi and it was a lovely car. Totally different in character obviously, but lovely nevertheless.
