The return of "Rip off Britain"
Cars are still far more expensive in Britain than the rest of Europe, almost ten years after the “Rip off Britain” campaign was launched.
Some models can cost up to 30 per cent more here than on the Continent, according to European Commission figures.
On average a Volkswagen Golf costs £9,256 in the UK compared to £8,980 in Germany and £7,105 in Finland. The figures are unveiled in the latest issue of Which? The magazine is revisiting its “Rip off Britain” campaign.
