Hi Im a lapsed GTI owner from many years ago. (strayed in Cayman 981 & 718 ownership)
Is it me but Im getting frustrated at no info re the hot Golfs. It was february when the launch
of the GTI was shown. Admittedly covid 19 has had an effect on being able to order but no news is now pushing
me towards the M135i !
I would be looking at the TCR - should I wait??
thanks
Hi, welcome to the forum.
If you're itching to get something ordered then the Beemer could be a tempting option. Obviously COVID hasn't helped the situation, but I think VW's usual new GTi inefficiency has been further exacerbated by them prioritising electrification.
As has been said above, even if you could order tomorrow it's 50/50 whether it would turn up before Christmas. Spec / options are also as clear as mud around launch time.
I'm not really a fan of BMW's, but i'm also in no rush so happy to wait. My Mk7.5 isn't a terrible option in the meantime. I suppose it depends on what you have now and whether there's any pressing need to replace it.
