would the london market want to buy a fast car when they cant get above 5mph? That and the price of petrol....
I personally think the golf's are too higher priced for me. Consider a gti in the uk ...i think they go for £23000..........? In america (where there appears to be loads of 'em....they are $16000? Convert that into Sterling and its like £12000!
But, thinking about it, where i live which is town/ countryside......i may have only seen a handful...
In America the price for a base GTI is $ 21,990 or £ 11,950 while the price for the base 3 door GTI in the UK is £ 20,360 according to the VW UK website. That is converted $ 37,450. Pretty expensive car.
ah but speed limit in america is 55mph and in uk its 70.
but yeah everything else your right about. i paid 12.3k for my base model golf. that would get me a GTI in the states.
for 20k, people are gona much rather prefer something more flash, like a 2nd hand TT or bmw m3. or something bigger like a passat or c class. i spose theres no justification for buying a GTI.
and the people in the states probably earn higher salaries on average.
u do get a good golf if u spend around £15k and i suppose thats why the sport and se are the most common.
