I looked into the Golf R deal when it was £150pm and seemed too good to be true, which was exactly the case.
0-60 in about 5 secs and 50mpg....but in the real world the mpg was around 20 or less so didnt work as a daily driver.
Looks dull as dishwater too.
The problem is some of these deals are BS. My man doesn't give any false info, generally has cars in stock and is reliable. That Yeti deal is stonking.
It's all relative I guess, you won't do similar miles, My 10 yr old Passat(. From new) has in thr last 3 years averaged 19k miles. Just cost me £250 to get through MOT today ( first time had to pay at Mot), still on original clutch,exhaust.A nice 3200, 4200 or GS will give better performance with lower running costs if you think about it. Bought & sold right you have zero depreciation and possibly lower service/repair costs than the payments on the Golf. I know what I would rather have.
My seat is still on its original exhaust and clutch. . The 1.9 tdi engine is the dogs... 130k and I'll do the cambelt again soon.
