Hi, I’m new on here thanks for the invite. Might be of interest that the VW finance calculator is now up and running for the mk8 GTI. I also noticed that you can no longer select  a manual GTI on the configurator.

It might just be an issue with the configurator - it’s not unknown for items of spec or even models to temporarily be removed from the configurator. The latest price list and spec guide brochure dated 02/10/2020 includes the manual version of the GTI. If the manual had been dropped. I’d expect VW to have updated the price list / spec guide to reflect this.
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

Thanks, it’s interesting how VW launch such an important car like the GTI, it’s almost like they haven’t prepared for it in advance. It’s frustrating as I actually want to buy one, maybe they don’t want to make it easy for me to part with my hard earned money!

Just run some figures off. Even with no options it’s not good at all. Gfv of £14.5k and nearly £450pm with discount factored in. Wow.

Amazingly, an S3 is only £20pm more. When I had my S3 it was cheaper than the gti on finance. Crazy stuff.

Dealers I’ve bought from include the contribution in the discount already. Not sure you’d get both but love to think you would. Thanks for the figures Guzzle.
