The nicest part of this car by far is the interior. Externally, it doesn't do anything for me at all.
My thoughts exactly.
But I'm also glad VW did something like this as they're normally so very conservative.
They've got all the parts bin mechanicals and experience from the Sub8 so it's good to see VW's take on making a bit more of a hardcore track focussed Golf. It's no Megane or Type R but it's probably a bit more liveable day to day.
I also like how they didn't want to fall into the limited numbers debacle like with the Edition 30 by saying it's a limited numbers production run. Basically it's up to how many people buy them in a shortish space of time how many they'll churn out. On the back of slow VW sales in general it might make these cars very rare in years to come.
