Do you miss Abu Dhabi? It sounds like the car scene is pretty buoyant there.
The most noticeable improvement to me between 7 and 8 is the slightly sharper and more focussed turn in. In other respects they’re very similar.
As for my personal fave mk7, it’s a hard call. The R was the best performer obviously (road use car only), but the Ed40 has a special place in my heart for a few reasons. The TCR was maybe the best blend of the two though. It’d be splitting very fine hairs to come up with an actual favourite. The Ed40 gives me the warmest feeling if I look at photos of them so I’ll go with that.
