No just NIP's and then the resulting prosecutions......

& then the Insurance Companies going against natural justice and charging more on each policy even though i can just be driving one vehicle at a time.

Odd you get points and fined or banned once by the courts but the more vehicles you have the more one offence can cost you because 'The Insurance Industry' want to benefit unjustly.

Interesting video ,broad based comparison in awkward conditions. i

I like the look.

Follow from yesterday, now it's the Leon ST 4WD competition to Golf R Estate. That is until the R mk7.5 facelift arrives 2nd /3rd quarter 2017

I've just had an email off Drive the Deal. 

 

"VW Golf 2.0 TSi 310 R 5dr AWD DSG (new model)*
 

Just £28,693

Seems cheap! No wonders they're more common than GTI's around here. 

VW are the new Skoda/SEAT,  discounted before they are even available.

I did that the other week, similarly Orangewheels are discounting also. Means of getting order book established creating demand - like Ford did with Focus RS but they then increased twice in under 12months. My local dealership said that customer deliveries won't be arriving until end of 2nd Qtr or early 3rd qtr 2017.

Cheers

Based on my current high spec car but the R mk7.5 facelift Orangewheels discounted. Inchcape dealership seem to be one of the biggest that use this discounter.

Added base spec 5dr with DSG and met paint

 A dealership I have done business with in the Midlands, tells me that they have two R Facelifted mk7.5 on order for demo /launch. Down for build in  week2, potential delivery end of March deliver but more likely  mid - end of April 2017.

 

Current offer VW, £1000 deposit contribution ( presumably PCP) @ 4.8% APR

So another year on year of facelifts and power uplifts continues in the Hot hatch / Hyper hatch world. The chase of "mine is bigger and better than yours" continues at a stupid pace.

Inside Lane review of the Golf GTI Facelift mk7.5

 

 

 

Good  that it may be but can it justify its pre-reg £40000 advertised selling price.

Autoexpress review the Performance Pack version of the Golf GTI MK7.5. Is it in their opinion the one to go for?

 

 http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen/golf/63631/volkswagen-golf-gti-performance-pack-2017-review

I am really liking the look of this cars potential, if the engineers can glean a lot form it's development, from the WRC 120  over the last few seasons.

 

Could be a cracking hot hatch.

 

I've seen the rally car perform in the flesh a few time now and still forecast  it to win WRC 2017 but will be tough.

Alternative to the mega /hyper hot hatches,

Pays your money and takes your choice.

 

This could be interesting addition ,will it be an DSG, manual or option of either.
