All a bit quiet on the CS-S front.....

As we are nearly in December and no sign of any even in the country yet I am starting to wonder if I should wait and have it registered in 2017.

No logical reason other than my OCD!! But seeing as I won't be using it until the spring at the earliest I might be able to blag a few weeks free storage at the main dealer! Unless they want/need it off the books for 2016 figures.

April would make it a nice birthday present too

Im with you on this, if the cars are due to land in the next 2/3 weeks then it makes sense to wait until january 17 to register them = that's what im planning on doing..

If you wait til April you'll save £60 odd a year on road tax...............

I was told by a client there is a new stealth tax coming in April on cars over around £35k I think ... extra tax will have to be paid and it's in the region of £100's of pounds ... don't hold me to this as it was just mentioned to me but did come from an Audi dealership

I appreciate what the magazines say but as I say I am interested to hear real world experiences..... I am not saying anyone is wrong.... Obviously I haven't driven one!

What I am saying is that my initial thought is that you would be driving around with care for the front end of the car with that much power, that is why I am interested in real world owners experience.

It may well be incredible and a new benchmark?

I too was wondering about Jan registering

The only problem is I don't want it hanging around the dealership

What is their policy on taking it into my own storage without them having registered it I wonder?

Interesting point .... I doubt it but you never know Viper ?! Why do you not trust the dealership may I ask ?

My previous post was my real world experience indeed, I drive a CS for the last 3 months now. And since the S builds upon the standard CS it can only get even better than that

Scanesare, I appreciate your view on a different car with less bhp. My own GTi PP is also a front driver with Lsd & less power.
I am not looking for an argument here.

Ask anyone who has driven performance cars and 300bhp through the front wheels will create a reaction and judgement in how you approach driving the car.

But pay more upfront on first registration tax due to the CO2 rating - that is shooting up for all but the most frugal of cars, then a flat £140 a year tax for everything that emits any CO2.

No chance. You can't buy and pay for an unregistered car, and they'll be wanting paying.
