GTi models late next year apparently.

Perfect. I'll leave it a bit for the niggles to work themselves out and the discounts to come in and then I'll upgrade. Mine will be be coming up to 5 years old then and ready for a change.

I keep toying with the idea of an R but for some reason I think I'll be in another GTI.

At that rate the Edition 45 wouldn’t be far off. Excellent! It’d be nice to get an anniversary model that’s not towards the end of a life cycle or just before a facelift.

Looks ok to me. Wonder how it will stack up against a Mk8 Golf?

Yeah, they're 20 inchers apparently and they're a bit much. Looks better on the smaller wheels to me.
