Possibly being offered a Clubsport S

[drisser]

In my various emails and calls regarding clubsport availability, it seems one dealer might have a cancelled Clubsport S order.  I am awaiting a confirmation if this is the case or not.

From a personal point of view clearly it will be a good investment - anyone think it is worth the extra outlay over a CS given the limited practicality (I wouldn't buy a car to leave it in the garage so has to be useable) and a 2 seater Golf wont probably get as much use as a CS in my household !

Any views ?

I'd jump right in!

OK but take the speculation / investment out of it 

what about v the clubsport std I know it would be a better investment long term but quite a lot of compromises !?

Not for me as I'm not interested in track days so the "standard" Clubsport is far more appealing - back seats and especially DSG - I'm a total convert and I wouldn't buy a manual now!

What I see is a great car which will have decent residuals but remain a little unconvinced if you are buying it as investment.

Buy it as a car to take on a A and B road with the stereo turned off.

I wasn't thinking about speculation/investment I was coming at it from a fun angle (I'll grow up one day...).

As the per the previous reply we need 4-seats now so wouldn't be an option for us. If you are in a different situation I think its a goer.

One of the appealing things about the std CS is you don't have the compromise of buying say a Cayman or something more expensive as is normal with a 2 seater..

Losing that makes me think well a cayman would be as good a buy if not better, whereas the std CS has few compromises but looks a bit more special than the std gti... and while I am sure it will depreciate enough, it ought to be a more solid buy than a standard car..

i'd stick with what you have a 2017 build slot for

haha

still not sure about that..  it is also 50% more expensive than a CS and very similar inside to my 330d.. Cant help thinking the GTi would be a lot cheaper to run as a 2nd car and feel a bit "different" whilst feeling special enough.

Cnt put my finger on it tbh but I really fancy a CS - think it is a car I could keep a long time

is the CS S 50% more expensive than the CS?? Then I would really not consider it.
