I've fallen for the MK8 GTI now, I think it looks fantastic.
The only small thing I do not like is the placement of the rear GTI badge. But I guess in time you will get used to it.
Im hopefully going for the TCR or Clubsport version (whatever they decide to call it)
Going to let the first few batches go through for all the mis-builds and small niggles to be ironed out before seriously thinking about ordering.
