Terrible car. I have a 22 Golf GTi and the number of issues it’s had is just purely infuriating. It’s been in the VW dealership getting “repaired” for 26 days so far.
3rd Jan
MK7 and MK7.5 were the last of the best Golf’s. Wouldn’t touch this, awful car and only bought because people want the VW badge. And I’m a VW enthusiast saying that.
3rd Jan
It upsets me that £23k for a basic Golf is a good deal
3rd Jan
Shocking isn't it. My Dad paid £21.5k for his brand new GTI in 2016 with the PCP and loyalty discounts that were about at the time.

*Edit - Tell a lie - £22935:
VW Golf GTI:
5 door manual
Tornado Red
Rear View camera
90% Tint

£25185 OTR (12.5%), less £1250 finance, less £1000 loyalty
Net £22935 (edited)

This or a Yaris - Tough choice
3rd Jan
I don’t know why I’m saying this, but the Yaris is faster and better on fuel. (edited)
3rd Jan
Golf interiors these days are shocking!! All cheap plastic!! I own a golf but it’s 3 years old and much nicer than the newer models.
3rd Jan
Can’t wait for the Tesla model 2 to be released hopefully soon with a 25k price mark

Watch all the others reduce their prices
3rd Jan
That'll never happen in UK. £48500 for a Model 3 SR single motor.

No way will the model 2 be £25k. More like £35-40k, sneaking in under the "luxury car tax supplement".
3rd Jan
Def second hand . I guess any amount over trade is a bonus for the seller! Well done
3rd Jan
Just bide your time then. I went EV just after they annouced the impending VED charges and watched the value drop over night.

Just keep saved lists in Autotrader and pump those reg numbers into the likes of WBAC, Motorway, Cazoo etc and monitor the trends.

I pretty much hit a plateau after about 8 weeks of watching them fall. Over a month on, they are still around the same price.

£5-15k second hand bracket is where the market is mental. I reckon you could sell anything in this bracket within a day or two.
3rd Jan
Much prefer the MK7 / MK7.5, they really missed the mark with the MK8 in my option.
3rd Jan
MK3, 6 and 8 Golfs are seriously ugly. MK2, 5 and 7 are the best of the bunch.
3rd Jan
Solid cars
4th Jan
VW are bang average 18th/29 for reliability and build quality, should be higher when paying a premium price
4th Jan
COLD - £400 cheaper at Drive the Deal
4th Jan
Only a deal if you want a VW badge. Anyone else will know there are plenty of better cars out there.
4th Jan
Please do supply some examples.
4th Jan
All these Nationwide deals seem too be cheaper at drive the deal.
4th Jan
They are.
3rd Jan
PCP has made the price of the cars ridiculous. People only look at the monthly costs and has led dealers to up the price of cars I don't want to pay over 20k for a fairly basic golf! I never buy any car on finance
3rd Jan
Same. More and more dealers don't even advertise a cash price now, you have to hunt for it. Just a "Monthly Amount".

PCP bubble is bursting now anyway thankfully.
3rd Jan
Overpriced. Way overpriced.
3rd Jan
Well not really. Granted this would have been a lot cheaper a few years ago, but in this current market it's a decent price.
3rd Jan
Gosh that design looks tired and old, just from the perspective of someone that knows nothing about cars
3rd Jan
With you there. It is dull. It may well be the best current price but to describe it as a hot deal. Not sure.
3rd Jan
Seems to be a lot of Nationwide Car Deals on here lately?
Someone working for them?
3rd Jan
Design insperation from the 80's?
3rd Jan
I’m glad to see some car deals coming through as they dried up the last few years.
3rd Jan
Worth paying the extra £500 for the 150bhp version.
4th Jan
Have one of these. Drive's lovely and the perfect all rounder.

Although...

Infotainment and climate controls drive me mad!
Stop adding touch screen buttons to cars - even worst when it's to control the A/C!!!!
4th Jan
Completely agree. I can't imagine why anyone thinks it's safe or even a good idea to bury any kind of vehicle control within a touchscreen system. Even if it's right there on the screen you can't find it without taking your eyes off the road instead of feeling for it - worse if you have to bring up another menu or something
4th Jan
Car looks butterz
4th Jan
Rather have the octavia and keep the change, much better interior and better spec

5th Jan
Wow the front end looks so bland, don’t like the shape at all
5th Jan
Wow this is a pretty ugly looking golf no? Maybe just me
4th Jan
These were like £2000 brand new in 2019
3rd Jan
Cheaper from Discounted New UK VOLKSWAGEN GOLF HATCHBACK 1.5 TSI Life 5dr (drivethedeal.com)
3rd Jan
Are you sure it is cheaper?
”EXTRA INFORMATION
The quoted prices on all models (except Style, GTi, R and PHEV) include a £1,000 finance deposit contribution which is conditional upon you taking out PCP finance arranged by the dealer. If you do not wish to take out this finance, then you will need to add £1,000 to the prices that we quote.”
3rd Jan
Passat is really better than this, get 2nd hand passat instead of this .
3rd Jan
We did this in 2018. Bought a brand new Passat GT cheaper than a Golf SE Nav.

£5k scrappage on offer helped things massively though on our old 06 Passat which was bought for £2k.
3rd Jan
Shame the 1.5 TSI is quite de-tuned normally puts out closer to 150bhp
3rd Jan
I'd hold off for better deals.
3rd Jan
23.5k for what is an old car - not something I can say is a good deal but that’s just me.
3rd Jan
An old car? This is brand new? This shape (mk8) only came out in UK in Feb 2020.

Models normally have a 6 to 8 Yr life cycle.
3rd Jan
I prefer to buy well specced used ones, each to their own.
9th Jan
Same, actually looking at MK7.5 GTD more for the virtual cockpit and heated seats
3rd Jan
I’ve got a mark 7.5 1.6tdi. Covered almost 80k from new. I’ve got the model S and was impressed with the mark 8 when mine went into the dealership with an issue. Spec has come along way since 2018 standard. I drove the 1L petrol and drove really well
3rd Jan
80k in a Golf S 1.6TDI.

On behalf of all VW fans on this forum, I'm sorry
3rd Jan
So glad car deals are coming back
7th Jan
Cold MK8 is horrible with their new UI laggy and nasty to use
7th Jan
Most boring design in its class, looks like VW to save money, has closed Golf's design departement years ago.
7th Jan
Best golf shape in my opinion

Mate has a new golf he’s has tons over the years and absolutely hates it , the touch screen is laggy and he hates the fact you have to go through menus to turn on a blower (edited)
