GTD Estate or Vrs Estate or Vrs Saloon
« on: 24 March 2015, 18:50 »
I've decided I need more boot space than what the Golf gives and can't decide what to do next. As subject title what would you go for?

Might be cheap to lease but running costs are astronomical!

I suppose it depends on what your priorities are.
If its space you need then it has to be the Vrs Estate as I would imagine that would be the biggest out the 3.
I'd hazard a guess it would also be cheaper than the GTD estate.
If you are looking for just a bit more space than your current GTD then the Saloon would offer that.

If it was me I think I'd go for the Vrs Estate as it has something about it I quite like.

What about the alleged R estate that is coming?

Well I'm 38 and iv got a New Passat biturbo estate being built as we speak. Passat boot is massive if your looking for room and the interior etc is a big step up on the old 1. Vrs is a good car and better value but check lead times. I looked at 1 last year and they were Golf R lead times back then. May be better now.

A lot of the lads at my plant have got Skoda VRS's from the company scheme.

They scoffed at my long old wait for my GTD when all their new Skoda's were rolling in.

I don't mind the Skoda name, but IMHO, its not quite as plush as the VW on the interior and some of the toys you can have on a Golf aren't there on the Skoda (mind you Audi have more things than VW, that must be how the hierarchy works!)
