MK7 GTI vs M135i

[monkeyhanger]

I have just had a look and a top spec KIA Ce'ed with 133bhp and metallic paint is £23,257.

That makes the golf GTI/GTD look extremely good value in my book.

Given residuals I am sure the golf will be way cheaper to own.

Undoubtedly the Golf will be cheaper to own - £23k for a 133bhp Kia Ceed? Are they for real? I can't see them getting anywhere near the residuals of the Golf for a long time. They sell well because they are (were?) cheap and have a long warranty (which isn't all that comprehensive in the later stages). If they are no longer cheap, why would you buy one?

The Pro Ceed GT is only £19,995

You know how Asian companies roll though.  They beat you one little step at a time.  The Kia price is lower, the warranty is longer the dashboard is nicer.  They keep working on it until one day you wake up and everyone has Honda and Suzuki bikes and no one is buying Triumph anymore, even though Triumph publically howled with laughter at the idea of a Japanese firm taking even 1% of their market share.  Who is laughing now?  Who knows what will happen to Kia, but there is a lesson here!

Back on topic, I still can't decide but the damn BMW is occupying my thoughs more and more .

Hey Bill, how about a new S3, 300BHP with quattro. Only £29859 through Drive the Deal.

Wasn't it Chris Harris said the S3 was all round sh!t compared to the M135i (or GTI for that matter)?

Anyway BMW just emailed final offer.  £6400 discount if I register on 13 plate. And I can collect it when I get back from holiday.

I hate making this decision! lol

Aye, that's a big chunk...says it all really

[matchboy]

Blo0dy hell that's a discount and a half! 

I'd tell em to get it to 7 and you have a deal!

Mental. Not sure of the spec of the car that's based on - but is it around 18%?

End of Quarter? Slow sales due to imminent 63 Plate?

Either way that's a cracking deal...if it's the Car/Spec you want...
