Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by Donster on 10 February 2026, 13:46 »
Greetings from the Emerald Isle, I’m new to the Forum as I’ve recently placed an order here with my local dealership for Moss Green Edition 50, Performance Pack, Area View and Art Velours steering wheel. big change for me as coming from All Space, had a Tayron on order but cancelled when Edition 50 appeared total heart over head as vehicle will be used as a daily with two kids in toe. Previously had numerous GTi.s but parenthood and buggy’s took over, out the other side now.
Im curious to see has anybody been able to establish how limited this run will me as it will effect residuals, I see some countries have stopped taking orders any truth in this, Ireland is still open to orders I believe.
Build Weeks anybody get anything definitive?
Commemorative Plague as discussed earlier, any further info on this?

Its definitely always been this way on the Irish configurator.

These configurators are always full of holes. AFAIK, the "Black pack" on the GTI / CS is still something mad like £1500 on the UK configurator whereas its only a couple of hundred in every other market (including Ireland).

Agreed Joe, it was that way on the Irish configurator from launch. I should know, spent a while playing when it when I was flirting with the idea of buying one haha!

To be fair, while not perfect either, the Irish configurator tends to be more reliable than the UK configurator.


haha yeah!
One possible "glitch" I've seen on the Irish one is that the "Discover media" (Sat nav basically) is down as an optional extra. Surely this can't be right, seeing as Nav is standard on basic Golfs these days as far as I know. I dare not ask a dealer, just incase it becomes costly!!

Thank you for your suggestions. I have been thinking along the lines of is it best to leave electric cars to develop further.
My local VW dealer has a 25 CS in at the moment. Maybe it’s time to do a test drive?

Definitely :smiley:

I looked at quite a few cars and very nearly bought a 230i coupe, but it didn't feel right. When I test drove my CS I knew within a minute it was the one for me. Considering the VED will be the same, why not look at a CS? Enjoy a few more years of ICE and give electric car technology more time to evolve, it might be the better choice in another 5 years.
