New Civic Type R - £30k??

[CraigW]

More likely 'look at that daft tw4t in his Audi or BMW'. I certainly don't think someone is doing better in life if they have either of these tw4t machines. More and more charvers and scum bags are in Audi's and bmws these days so no thanks.

I agree! Plus most are company cars or on credit 

You could argue most R's are on ridiculously cheap lease deals which devalues the car somewhat

The young lad in his white mk7 R that pulled up at the lights next to me yesterday trying to show off failed.
As I just though I know what you pay a month for that lol.

Here we go again with the sour grapes/chip on the shoulder attitude of some non R owners.

It matters not a jot how a car is being paid for. Smart people go for smart deals. As things stand at the present, if you are really smart and are set on acquiring a Performance Golf with a view to economy and don't mind a tractor engine, you should go GTD and definitely not GTI.

The R is the best VW Golf, end of. R owners, whether leasers or outright buyers can be secure in the knowledge that they have the best Performance Golf, that is probably until the R400 is released.

And if someone is driving a better and/or more expensive car than yourself, don't judge them by your own flawed standards as some of you are doing. Just exhibits your own lack of worthiness.

    just need to mention the word lease and it's like a red rag to a bull. Even though you have an R you clearly have some sort of inferiority complex because it's leased and so you have to defend it at every given opportunity. I was only replying to someone who said that most Beemers are company cars or on credit. I was merely pointing out that likewise many R's are on lease rather than purchased outright. You need to relax more

And you got a well deserved answer.

I can't imagine many outright buy new cars do they? Mine is leased but I have the option to purchase at the end as it's now through VWFS. Don't most people do a PCP which also mean they don't technically own it either?  Could be wrong as I put mine through my business so I don't pay for it anyway.

Silly boy.

Although it is increasingly á la mode to rent a car these days, some of us still do it the old fashioned way, me included.

[remlapeel]

That was a genuine question lol. I'm not joining in the lease argument.
