Golf 7.5 GTI Facelift versus Golf 7 GTI Clubsport

[Aidey]

Yes get the Clubsport, i asm bias of course as i own one, but it is a head turner, i get comments on its great looks every day, also get good insurance lol...
Its a great car to drive also, im having a few issues with the trim, but the dealer will sort that..

Thank you for your inputs. I have made up my mind i am going for the Clubsport  . We only get 5 door GTIs in South Africa. I have also confirmed, the first batch of the facelift that we have received in South Africa is also missing fog lights, i am even more happier with my Clubsport decision. Seems like VW UK is not the only market with missing fog lights.

You will love it mate. Definitely a head turner as mentioned, I get comments all the time about how nice it looks and sounds. Looking forward to the pic when you collect. Enjoy.

You are going to long lengths to not have to get a people carrier by putting the third child on the bike but as they say, needs must.

This is the best familycar!


My wife say, must we have a GTI?!

- YES YES a said!!

The wife loves the GTI, especially in the Indium Grey, she loves how the red contrasts it so well.

It's our first "sporty" car she likes to be in and drive. Had 330's, S3, Cooper S before and didn't like any. It's a revelation not having to have a soft car for her to enjoy being in!

Mrs LRWmotorsport loves "our" Clubsport to the extent that I hardly get to drive it.

Lucky folks, mine secretly wishes we had gone for the Tiguan  She particularly despises the buckets in that "you have to adopt a special getting in/out procedure if you don't want to bump your thigh at the bottom side bolsters" (pfff... I get in and out just fine) and the fact that (I remind her) she has to watch out not to scratch them when she hurries in the back with the little one. (You know women's accessories are fully of non-friendly-to-glossy-bucket-backs items?? ) I must fight hard to make this CS a keeper...
