Best way to waste 40k

[Gally]

A quick fwd car with a bodykit. Needed 4wd but they couldn't do it.

I like the Scirocco R tbh. I'd have one over a Megane.

I seen one on the way to work (Sciroc R) and was thinking about it, must be a bloody handful on anything but dry terrain!

It's not too bad tbh mate, esp is a bit intrusive on wet roads (no suprise) but is still quite tractable

£40k? BMW M135i + Hyundai i10 for shopping please!

​

 

[daydotz]

Sad I know but I thought the same! Could have at least specced up to the RNS510 Unit. Having said that, it's £2k at VW!

turns out that sat nav is a £730 extra a RNS 510 is £1815 :dead:

Or an Elise? Or even an A4 estate

An Elise? An A4 estate? Is this a serious comment or troll?

 

[Goodj]

No less serious than any other "don't buy that, buy this for £x" comment

 

[ben81]

It is steep but people will buy them.
There are loads of those hideous RR Evoque things around my area and they are even worse vfm!
It's only car enthusiasts that will see the wasted opportunity of £40k gone to waste.

 

[Silent_Scone]

40k is ridiculous money but so are some peoples comments on here. AFAIK an Audi A5 convertible is much slower, an S5 starts at 46k. Caterham R500, very practical to use everyday isn't it? What other performance convertibles are there for 40k brand new?

....Seriously?

 

[STICKER TWONK]

....Seriously?

Genuine question, please list convertibles with similar performance, similar build quality and similar practicality for similar money brand new.

Seems like vw UK have been reading Cliosport......... Car now reduced by nearly 6k to 33k, much more respectable, nearly seems like a bargain now!

Volkswagen has reduced the price of the Golf R Cabriolet to £33,170

Volkswagen has announced that it has cut the price of its flagship Golf R Cabriolet by £5,600. The new figure is effective immediately, although VW’s website might take a little time to update, and takes the cost of a Golf R to £33,170.


That means the Golf R Cabriolet is priced much closer, and more realistically, to the £29,755 starting price of the Golf GTI Cabriolet, and drops it below the £38,237 Porsche charges for the entry-level Boxster.


A VW spokesman told us that the price was set by the factory in Germany mid-last year, before VW’s UK product team had its annual chance to negotiate the prices charged here.


However, the decision was taken to offer the car in the UK as a halo model for the Golf line-up, with VW UK deciding that the car should form part of the range, despite the price.


The new cost is “the price we’d have liked it to be, and where it should have been.”


The spokesman added that there are “a handful” of customers who have bought the R Cabriolet at the earlier asking price of £38,770 who will be refunded the difference.

That will be nice for the existing customers'. Although they clearly don't need that money back if they're stupid enough to pay it in the first place.
