PS. Regarding extended warranty, I think I'll take the risk on such low mileage. Also the monthly reduction (£40) will go a long way as some 'insurance'.

I'd considered a new car replacement, looked at a couple of different models. But the initial outlay and monthly premiums are scary in uncertain ...

Great reply SRGT

Never needed an MOT with previous cars and was unaware can have 1 month before due / warranty runs out. Will be doing that for sure. Cheers

It had a a full service this month and the comments were 'as new' (from the usual technician video...) - Tires all good, brakes etc and more ...

Hi guys, an update since my original post from Aug last year!?!

I'm going to extend my Lease from June this year - I've had a quote from Arval and it's a no-brainer considering the car (and car-crash of the economy right now!) and £40 pm cheaper than I am paying

Remember this was never a PCP but a ...

I normally drive in 'Individual Mode' with everything set to Sport other than Suspension in Normal

However, could any of you guys provide an explanation of :-

1) Drive - How does this relate / differ to Gearbox in Sport or Normal setting... confused
2) ACC - Is this throttle sensitivity? (I'm ...

BTW Thanks for the heads up on the Golf. To be honest I'm not a great fan of the new design. I enjoy the sharper look of the Polo and more exclusivity in GTI format

No experience of either up! or Golf GTI’s. However, if as per one of your other posts in another discussion thread you’re only driving short journeys and travelling circa 2.5k miles per year, if you don’t need a larger car and would be happy to downsize, then IMO an up! GTI is certainly worth ...

GTI+ lease ends next year.

To replace I'm looking to buy rather than lease again (see my other thread). Especially for this type of car.

So The question is in the title

Anyone had experience of switching to the UP GTI or Golf GTI and how it compares?

Would value any experience, thanks!

Difficult to predict what the state of the new car market will be like in 9-10 months time. However, if the current semiconductor shortage issue has improved and manufacturers are able to increase their car building capacity, then waiting / lead times should have reduced.

I’ve never leased a car ...

Thanks guys... Since joining the forum I've discovered a lot of info re the particle filter.

I'm 100% convinced this has been the issue with my regular very short journeys - Normal mode, auto and hardly ever getting above 2,000 revs in traffic.

As an 'experiment' I did a very short journey today ...

Ok it’s not until June next year. But some cars are on a 1 year waiting list…

Will be 3 yrs old in June 2022. Mileage will be approx only 7,500 by then

Currently paying on lease £271pm (3mth upfront fee was £813 that’s now history)

My questions are….

1) Do I buy it outright if possible?

Hi guys, just joined the forum and thanks for the info I’ve picked up so far.

Since June 2019 my GTI is recording ave 25mpg over 2 years / 5000 miles

I accept I do short trips (mainly 1.5 years WFH). Longer journeys I can stretch out the ave to 35-40 mpg

Back in the day I had a Boxster S 3.2 that ...
