I've seen talk of this online but I think it's super limited, like 100 in total.

Incidentally, are we still able to spec the Prets? The configurator app doesn't give the option.

My bad - they're on there now. Has anyone ticked the £2.5k box??

Prets was on the other day. Do you get DCC with the prets as a package?

Dave

Good news today....

Pretoria alloys with semi slick tyres option comes with DCC

15 April 2016
Extra technology included with alloys option

VW0493-16

Golf GTI Clubsport customers who choose 19-inch Pretoria alloys in black or grey with the semi slick tyres receive Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) together for the previously-advertised price of £2,480.

This was not included in the description on the launch documents. Make sure your customers are aware.

Note this does not apply when adding the optional 19-inch Pretoria alloys to a Golf R or Golf R Estate.

That goes some way towards explaining the price.

Just did a CarWow quote on the 3 door CS and one dealer came back with a 9.7% discount, August delivery.

I've just had 5 quotes back and only one offered any discount and that was 3.7%
Last week 2 of the 5 offered 3.7%

Can you pm me who that dealer was please?

I am in Birmingham too so if there is a regional thing going we should be the same.

What a waste of money, and they don't even give you the standard wheels and tyres as well!

If you are selecting these tyres you are going to use it as a track car and if you are buying a track car it's unlikely to be a £33000+ Golf.

It's almost like VW are trying to tell you it's a track day car by giving these an option even though the brakes will catch fire after 2 laps - I've just worked it out - more corner grip on Cup tyres = less use of the brakes - GENIUS!

Surprised they don't fit it with one of those fabric tow hooks as seen on slammed Corsas.

(and yet I still want one  :drool: )

So your R experiences haven't put you off mk7 Golfs then Andrew?  :lipsrsealed:
Or is this to be mothballed and put away for your pension fund?  :laugh:
It'll certainly be interesting to hear your thoughts on a CS once you've driven/owned one with your vast experience of different performance VW's/Audis/SEATs etc
