The impressive thing is one can spend almost $40K on a GTI...
That’s as much as a MK7 Golf R cost (or similar) and there is nothing I like more about the MK8 than I did the MK7. C&D doesn’t put much emphasis on the infotainment/UI, but that alone would stop me from buying one.The impressive thing is one can spend almost $40K on a GTI...
The BRZ and 86 were scored the same. The Golf was 2 points behind but got close by virtue of practicality.Awesome info! Can I see the final scoring of these cars? Especially the difference between GR86 and BRZ.
I’m doing the opposite, going from a 2008 Boxster rs60 spyder to the brz. I wish I could keep the Boxster but have to sell it for financial reasons and I want a newer car, but it is amazing still. The other day I was driving in the canyons and I left a new bmw m2 in the dust when the road got curvy, only when it straightened out could he catch up! My car is still for sale if you are interestedIf I wanted a FWD car with a degree of comfort along with very good performance and handling the Golf would be it for me. True the infotainment system would annoy. However, I would adapt to it in the long run. I'm not a fan of the Veloster. The cheap interior plastics(way below the twins) and the hard ride would turn me off. Further, I've never loved the styling of it. Focusing strictly on hot hatches I think the Golf is the cleanest design. I've never warmed up to the current Civic Type R. I think the new one looks a whole lot better. I really like the styling of my 500 Abarth as well. But I'm done with hot hatches. I'm strictly RWD.
I've put a deposit down for a BRZ but will see if I can actually buy it in March of 22. if it does not come to pass for some reason, I'm going to look at a used Boxster.
