Yep. OK if you're the first owner and the car has a full warranty but so much to go wrong these days I'd definitely consider carefully what options I pick if/when I get a Mk8.

I remember the starter motor dying on my 205 Gti back in the day - cost about £60 for the motor and an afternoon of my time to fit it. Wonder what that would cost to replace on my Mk7!!

Yes it's an eye-watering amount to replace two shocks but you'd have to compare how much it would cost to replace a normal pair. £200-£250 less?

I guess it's the way with modern cars - everything is so complicated and generally very difficult for the average home spanner-monkey to fix themselves.
