An alarm is optional extra on all Golfs in Ireland (not 100% sure on R32, but its def not std on GTI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeGTI Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 [ QUOTE ] WHAT?!?!?!?! Is that some reg for EIRE then? [/ QUOTE ] Its all down to our complicated VRT (tax) system on new cars. As a result of it, VW Ireland strip out what they consider unnecessary add-ons, such as the alarm, climate control, etc to bring down the base price of the car. I don't know for certain about the R32, but I am absolutely certain it is a pricey optional extra (about €400) on a GTI! The VRT system is due to change in July to a C02/emissions-based system, which will actually render the likes of the R32 almost obsolete, as it will be in the top tax bracket (2 grand per annum road tax!!!)
