New car, Golf Clubsport S

[revsRus]

I don’t feel well acquainted enough to do the guessing game, so here is my new car, collecting on Saturday

https://www.hillsoflymington.co.uk/used ... 1314468312

It’s the old car of “Sideways Sid” of modest youtube fame.

I have a regukar MK7 golf gti at the moment and I absolutely love it, more so than my GT4 in many ways, but my current GTI loses composure over about 8/10ths driving. I’m hoping this car will correct that problem comprehensively.

Who approves/disapproves?

Approved.

Whats happening with the GT4?

[revsRus]

Approved.

Whats happening with the GT4?

I get it back on Monday . They eventually had to change both strut towers because the geometry was out with the stress of the “droop” being transferred by a strut brace to the other side. Or something like that. They also changed the wheel, tyre (although not damaged, I’m asking them to keep it back for me) and I think the shock absorber too, excluding the spring presumably, which was fine.

Massively approve, I’ve been watching them creep down in price and I want one.

Nice. Always thought the GTi was a better looking car than the R, even more-so in Clubsport. £28k for a used Golf! What a time to be alive

Although god-only-knows what a "Clubsport S Baby" plate is Just....no

It’s CS58 ABY. Sigh. Although I already know I’m not going to bother changing it

Nice Van!

Thanks. It’s the only one I could find without a “collector’s mileage” so about £5k cheaper than the next cheapest.

Nice Van!

Indeed. I drive permanently with my rear seats down and loads of stuff in the back anyway for work, so it genuinely will be used as a van.

Gwarred has much to learn from you.

Nice. I recently test drove a Clubsport and liked it. I know the S has specific parts like the subframe and extra -ve camber but I’d still take a non-S as a hatchback with 2 seats seems daft to me. However you saying you’ll use it as a van makes more sense I guess. Enjoy!

[DeskJockey]

Top choice! Also out that you'll actually use it.

[mikeyb]

As the owner of another two seat hatchback, I thoroughly approve

Coincidentally I was just looking at these on AT - I had a thought that one of these could replace the GP2.

[JonMad]

Nice! The Megane R26.R and Trophy-R seem to be very collectable so given it's excellent reviews I can't see this being any different. Great to buy one to use it rather than pamper it.

Love these Pete, great shout.
