Agree about the new Golf. I’ve been looking at the R-Line with an AP of £999. Sounds reasonable… until you realise there’s no electric folding mirrors, no rear view camera, no heated seats, and the standard wheels are extremely dull! Folding mirrors, camera, heated seats & decent wheels will mean another £1,500 of options to get the car how I would want it. That’s a hefty AP.
The Corolla GR Sport however comes with all that and more… even a HUD! Granted, it’s a tad over £2,000 AP as well – but it just looks sooooo gorgeous in white/black bi-tone – to me anyway.
I have loved every minute in my C-HR… but it’s time to change to something different for the next 3-years.
