Till the finance is paid off, then going to a TTRS. So probably another 2 years or so.

I Will keep it at least 5 years. It's very expensive to change and I am now retired and I only do 8000 miles a year. I kept a peugeot 106 xsi for 9 years and a ford puma 1.7 for 7 years so I do tend to keep my cars for some time.

At least the four years of finance (so that's another 29 months). Will probably then save for another year the amount I pay for the GTi to give me a deposit on top of the value of the car - so at least 5 years.
At that point, I have to decide to buy something else (and at probably nearly £30k by then) that'll most likely be a fast BMW. Much as I love this car it's just a VW and the one I have is just about the limit for me in terms of price.
I could get a used M3 for £30k as an example.

Nice car a mate had one (just sold it and ordered an RS3) but the image of a TT owner is what puts me off.

Is it just me but don't like those two-tone colour Alloys wheels on the RS3 ( 19“ 5-Arm-Rotor design titanium finish alloys ) ???
