I was very fond of my mk8 Clubsport too. The first car I’ve kept for a decent length of time (albeit my Ed40 was nearly as long but that wasn’t my daily driver) and would have had it even longer if the (subsequently cured) bongs hadn’t driven me to order an R.

Unrelated, but mk8 Clubsports seem relatively popular in my neck of the woods despite being a rare sight elsewhere. I often see the Dolphin Grey Clubsport that shared the showroom with my R, plus a white 23 ‘Clubsport’ numberplated car, then there’s a few more I see from time to time around the city when I venture that way.

No issues with my Infotainment thankfully, my mk8 R was a total nightmare and went back because of it...
There are a few gti's where I live, no clubsports, My mate drives a nice Anniversary mk8 R

500 miles in and got some spacers fitted, 11mm front and 13mm rear. Really pleased with the fitment and fill the arches nicely. Completes the look I reckon.

R paddles arrived today too so will get them on in next few days.

So impressed with this car all round, particularly the handling and turn in. A refreshing change after a run of AWD cars.

I’d think the Clubsport would feel a bit tame after driving an M3
