In order to help you decide if you want to order a new VW Golf 8.5 GTI & GTI Clubsport, in this video I share with you my opinions on the options available by delving into the VW UK configurator which reveal a number of things that are either confusing and/or contradictory.

I'd done a dry run of this video the day before filming and at the time a "space and weight" saving spare wheel was listed but this wasn't on the configurator at the time of filming - another oddity.

I mention the P11D price which is the price that company car tax is based on. This appears to be the same as the list price which is the on the road (OTR) price less the initial registration fee and the first years road tax. This means the P11D price is the number that the luxury car tax is based on which means in this case around £1k below the OTR price which means you can spec DCC and area view on the base GTI and avoid the LCT. Even main dealer sales folk often aren't aware of this.
