Should I change

[hastd2]

...So it was picked up and we drove back up the road, we stopped at Dundee for a break and he asked if I would like a test drive  ....So I drove from Dundee to Aberdeen....a near 2 hr test drive lol

2 hours to do 70 miles from Dundee to Aberdeen?? Were you driving like a granny? 

Sorry Fraserburgh!!

Unless you can get the figures to stack up I wouldn't do it. The GTI is a great car and isn't a hard to get going reasonably quickly.

If I was seriously contemplating getting an R I would rather enjoy what I've got then go for a MK8 in a couple of years time. At least you will get a whole new interior experience rather than it basically being the same car.

That said if you want to just get it done. Regret what you do not what you don't.

Am in two minds if I should take the plunge and upgrade to the Golf R at the start of new year, am not fussed about a brand new one I would settle for a 15 plate.

Someone asked the exact same question a few weeks back. That thread might give you an idea
