Im quite taken by the CS, I just hope that VW will bring some more wheel choices to it in the next 12 months for when I think about changing my 7.5




Dragging up an old one here, anyone know if these are 18 or 19 prets on here? I’m having a small meltdown trying to consider swapping std 18s for after market or going all in on 19s and dcc.
Ordered 12/06/21 Build scheduled for wk46>wk52>wk10>wk25: MK8 GTI Clubsport in Standard White, DCC, Winter Pack, Standard Wheels

18s on continental tyres. VW currently have them on ‘special’ offer around 1300 with tyres.

Id have the tyres from the Richmonds to swap over so some CM Versions will probably achieve the target of no richmonds but also avoiding 19s

Not exactly a review but worth a watch.
The 0-60 isn’t too shabby for a FWD.

I’ve ordered CS with Estorils, didn’t like the Adelaides in real life. Decent 18s with higher offset think best way to go. Especially if happy to have no option car from stock and avoid the long wait.
Ordered Apr-21 Arrived Mar-23: MK8 GTI Clubsport, Dolphin, Estorils plus other options

Possibly not relevant to the average daily commute but if you’re going to call a car Clubsport then it needs to deliver on track too…

Not overly shabby all things considered.

The mk8 CS didn't look happy on track, the weight with 5 doors & Dsg didn't help that case?

Still possibly a better road car than the Yaris though, GR is a bit of a rabid terrier too much of the time from my experience driving them?
