Took it to over 30k miles today. Although I still don't always get on with the dsg and I do have the 'third year itch', this really is an extremely competent car with a great engine. Plenty of go, decent comfort (excepting the monumental crash if you hit a bump/pothole) and all the practicalities of any Golf. I think regularly of replacing it due to the aforementioned itch yet there really is little out there that would be worth replacing it for. It was a difficult decision for me getting this given how happy I was with my MK7PP but it worked out well!
Now all I have to do is find some time to wash it...
