In considering a new vehicle I've come across a stark decision:
Lease or Finance a MY16 Golf R Manual Base
or
Finance a MY13+ Audi S4 Manual Premium Plus
I have not driven a MK7R, but have the S4/S5 and love the refinement, power linearity etc.. The decision is to support purchasing a (nearly) 4 year old car with < 50,000 miles for roughly $30-35K OR opt for the zero mile slightly less equipped, but just as quick, if not quicker variation.
I love my GTI, but am lusting after more power, more tech, better traction and of course value for money.
What is everyone's take on this argument - and as such if you were sticking in the VW/Audi group is there anything else you would consider?
Ex: Porsche Cayman S (2006-2008MY)
The only reason I would be concerned with choosing the mid-engined machine is the fact that I'm averaging roughly 15,000mi/Year.
The residual value of the Golf R would be exceptional, so I'm leaning towards this, but let me hear thoughts / ideas, VW gurus.
