If it's under $100k here, that'll be unreal...
Judging by the price jumps between the other S and RS variants of the same car, it'll be over $100k though

Golf GTI has been dethroned by the Renault Megane RS250 Coupe as the <60K drive.com.au Performance Car of the Year. See link.
Drive Car of the Year: Performance car under $60K
Volkswagen Polo won outright honours as drive.com.au Car of the Year. See link:
Volkswagen Polo 77 TSI wins Drive car of the Year
Golf GTI was included in the final showing for <60K PCOTY - but failed to attract any of the 11 votes. Ford Focus received 2 votes -v- Renault's 9 votes. Golf GTI has won drive.com.au PCOTY for the past 4 years.

Fairly useless comparison as most of these types of reviews are. Plus the Megane is R money, not GTI.Originally Posted by WhiteJames

I thought the megane was about $50k drive away, that's still closer to a loaded gti than a base golf r
I've read the megane is awesome but damn that Renault resale

My Golf GTI was 50K drive-away.

There are people who have paid <$50k driveaway for their stock manual R....
You can option up many cars to be more expensive than the next model up - it doesn't change which car a stock car competes against:
Golf GTI 3 door manual: $38,990
Renault Megane Sport 250 Cup 2 door manual: $41,990
Renault Megane Sport 250 Cup Trophee 2 door manual: $46,990
Golf R 3 door manual: $48,490
So as dave- pointed out, the comparison is a bit useless as there is $8,000 between the GTI and the Cup Trophee. The GTI's competitor is the standard Cup, which is still $3,000 more expensive. The Cup Trophee is positioned against the R and comes in at $1,500 cheaper.
