Random thought of the day 
Yup
Another random thought: Why would anyone who owns a Mk7 want to buy a Mk7.5. They are the same car.
I personally wouldn't move from a GTI to a FL GTI but I would be tempted to move to a FL R. I appear to be one of the few who like the new TFT display and the new DRL's. Think the small styling changes make a nice difference but still too conservative for me and not aggressive enough. Now add the akraprovic exhaust system and it becomes very tempting
That's similar to my thinking on moving from a Mk6 GTD to a Mk7 GTD. My test drives left me thinking that the performance, economy and comfort are only slightly better on the Mk7 GTD. Undoubtedly, the Mk7 is more refined in every way. However, for me, the differences were not significant enough to make me want to change. (I did like the progressive steering though and the ACC on my wife's car has grown on me.)
Now my circumstances have changed. This means I can now consider a petrol car. I was very tempted by the Golf R, but I have never had a GTI before. So for me it is as much about moving between models as it is about moving between generations. I'm hoping to notice a significant difference moving from a Mk6 GTD to a Mk7.5 GTI/PP.
Having said all that - if I hadn't liked the style of the facelift, I would probably have kept my car and waited for the Mk8.
