I am the happy owner of a Mk 7.5 Performance and can’t envisage changing to a Mk8 at all.
However , I thoroughly enjoy reading the Mk8 forum and feel the GTI forum buzz in the same way as I did when I first joined the Mk7, then 7.5 forum.
What has been interesting and maybe different this time is the presence of BMW 1 series debate. Perhaps it’s a tribute to VW that BMW has tried so hard to recreate the GTI vibe with their own products.
Anyway, despite intending to hang on to my 7.5 for a long time, I still check the Mk8 forum before the Mk7 one. So keep up the debates and new car buzz please.
The point of this post? None really other than the usual regular posters seem a nice bunch and always worth reading.
