What's on your list next Jim if the mk8 is off?
Sort of depends but looking like I'd opt out of company car and buy something 18 months or so old. Quite fancy AWD and maybe a bit more space. But then the Golf is pretty practical. So a few ideas are:
'17 S4 or S5 Sportback
'16 RS3 - just purely for the noise!
'18 Cupra ST such as the Carbon one
Or a Golf R, maybe a used TCR if it was sensible money, older but well spec'd CS40 or possibly even buy mine if possible and do a few mods!
But a lot can change in a year!
