The CS is going to be bought by people that don't care too much about the retail price, they're on good wages and just want 'nice' things and by nature most buyers will be pretty conservative professional types. I think in some ways it's a shame these cars will never see their potential for the main (there will be a good few exceptions) but it'll also mean there will be a lot of nice ones on the second hand market in a few years as most of the buyers will have cherished them.
This will be one Clubsport owner who falls into the good few exceptions all being well.
Timing is perfect for replacing our car There was no question it was going to be a GTI. (The only car I've personally owned that wasn't a GTI was a VR6 Corrado.).
There was no way we'd miss out on a special edition GTI from new as our first ever new from the showroom car. I am very fortunate that we are in a position at the moment where we can afford to pay over the odds for it.
The fact that the car has sparked so much debate only adds to the desirability for me. I like something that divides opinion and can lead me into long conversations about my favorite subject. Cars.
Yes, yourself and Dave HA54SYM were two people I had in mind that would buck the trend as far as using the car's potential!
I can't wait to see one in the flesh myself. That's when I'll decide whether I should've stuck with plan A and by which time it'll be too late.
