They are yes. I have nowhere to store these though for two years, for when it goes back. The upgraded 19” look great. But they’re a £1,200 option and you’re forced to take the £700 DCC with them as well. Nuts.
I agree they’re not great looking. But, I don’t hate them enough to buy...
So back on the 30th September I placed an order for a Mk8.5 GTI. Proper lease spec; no options, flat white paint. Having now had it for a week - after it was delivered last Thursday - figured I'd do a wee write up. Don't worry, there are pictures for the ADHD amongst us...
My Impression
I'm...
Quick snap from yesterday. Initial impressions:
+ feels sharper, tighter and more nimble than the vRS. Clinical, but I like that;
+ was worried the 18”s would look small. They somehow look bigger than the 18”s on the vRS. Most likely due to the body shape around them;

Standard, but due to it being a lease. Saw a relatively good - by today's standards - deal so jumped.
It's then VW's problem in 2 years, a pure ICE car. I don't have to be lumped with it.
Well, my time with the vRS is coming to an end. And I'm genuinely sad about it. Loved every minute with this car. Has done everything required of it. Family hauler, IKEA trip runner, B road blaster. Smart looking but understated. 68,500 fault free miles, the most I have ever driven any...

What’s to stop you setting one of these up, then paying yourself for gaining credit card benefits etc? Like cash back, points etc? I assume this loophole doesn’t exist but, stranger things have happened. Quite recently in fact.
Just the three for me. Soon to be two.
Apple One - Use it for music, iCloud, TV. Think my kids use Arcade.
Netflix - Whatever the mid tier is. 2 screens.
NowTV Cinema - Deal was going on around Christmas. £4.99 per month for 6 months. Will be chucking it in May when it’s done.
You got a monitor?
I’d be looking at a Mac Mini M1 off Backmarket or something for that kinda price. That’s based on 3 minutes of research.
What you using it for?
Renault 5 Alpine-Line.
Didn’t Renault try the dedicated RenaultSport dealer thing already? Or at least have “special” dealers that did RS stuff? That lasted all of 5 minutes iirc. Who dreams up this bullshit?
