Golf GTE Shocker! - 6.3sec 0 - 100 instead of 7.6sec

Think this is one of the many perplexities of a hybrid like this. You can quite easily not ever bother with charging it at home/work/roadside and let the car sort it all out for you. What does that gain you? No congestion charge for starters and very significant tax savings for company car drivers.

You can probably gain the same by spec'ing a GT and ticking the 1.6 TDI bluemotion engine in it. If you never cared to make use of the plugin electric "fuel" then its pretty much the same.

With the list price being two thirds of the GTE's, even the BIK (19% as opposed to 5%) won't make much difference, plus the difference in lease price to start with will be significantly different.

I'm sure the financially astute Monkeyhanger will be along with his calculator soon to work the numbers
