I had a Mk6 GTD for 4 years, followed by a Mk7 GTD which had for another 4 years. I currently have a Mk7.5 Golf R which is probably the best car I have ever owned, but after 4.5 years I'm ready for a change.Unfortunately, the Mk8 Golf R does nothing for me. Whilst I know this is a purely personal thing, it seems to me that the outside and the interior are not a patch on my existing car. I specced a Mk8 8 R, out of interest and it was just shy of 50k (yes, i know there are discounts), but it just didn't do i for me. On 16 August i ordered a carbon black RS3 saloon and I now have a confirmed bill week of week 2 next year. Better tell the wife soon I suppose!
