Kind of on topic but I’m looking for a replacement for my GTI. The lease on mine is up in March 24 and as there’s no way I’m waiting 18 months for another I’ve been looking round. Hyundai Ionic5 today the dealer said 12 months minimum and virtually no physical new car stock, Audi A3 crap 150bhp engine but top spec black edition 6 month’s minimum. But I went a bit left field and looked at a Citroen C5 X (loved it) top spec hybrid 4 months wait. Maybe vive la France lol. It’s a totally different car but it was sooooo nice inside and super comfortable.

I'm handing my new R in end of this month in exchange for an RS3. Under 500 miles and very high spec. Boing free as well!
I think you might regret buying a Citroen

Are Citroen aweful? I was surprised by the C5 X, it certainly isn’t a sports car but it didn’t BONG BONG BONG at all while I drove it lol. And the comfort level, especially the seats, were impressive. Maybe I’m just hitting a certain age.

Nothing wrong with a Citroen if you like that sort of thing. However, after owning a GTI I think you will soon be regretting your change.

I get it TD, putting my foot down and enjoying the GTI is fun. But two years in and more than a dozen stops at the dealership hoping they hear the bongs and rattles and explaining faults to VW bods who just don’t care have ruined the car for me.
I have genuinely thought, well maybe if I wait 18 months for a new one to arrive all the headaches will be sorted? Maybe…
Let’s see.
