Pretty sure someone who has owned all of them will be along soon.... 
Who would actually be that daft?
Dylan, at the end of the day you want what you want, but there’s absolutely no darned way I’d pay £31k for a TCR with a ropey history or a vendor that’s taking the piss above a 1 owner, lowish mileage mk8 Clubsport from a VW dealer with a minimum two year warranty for less money.
I’ve owned an Ed40, mk7 R, TCR, mk8 Clubsport and mk8 R.
The best one is the one you’re sat in at any one time as they’re all really really good cars. So buy on condition and look past the glitz of an Akrapovič if it’s not attached to an absolute mint car.
