I have had my 2018 mk7.5 gti for nearly 3 years now and used to only keep my cars for 18 months. Whilst I ADORE my current car, I normally have a plan of action for my next car...
However, looking at options, I cannot fathom what on earth I will do next. I would ordinarily get a newer GTI, but here is my thinking;
- Mk 8 gti - ugly (in my opinion), awful interior - immediately ruled out
- Mk 7.5 gti tcr - currently my top option, but this will be my third mk7.5 gti and could be a bit samey (although brilliant!)
- Audi tt - don't really like audis, but tt looks good, particularly TTS. However, crazily expensive - ruled out
- Mercedes - UGLY UGLY UGLY, won't entertain at any cost. Overly expensive too.
- Skoda - Although good, it is a step down
- Seat /Cupra - See Skoda
- BMW - UGLY AS SIN and never liked them anyway. Overly expensive too.
- Porsche - love Caymans, but crazyyyy expensive! Would get a lot less and older compared to current 7.5 gti.
I am left with absolutely nowhere to go and am genuinely intrigued what people are buying next and indeed what experiences and comparisons are compared to previous 7.5 ownership.
What are you buying!?
