If you like the GTI so much, why not just get a Golf R?

Reading comprehension seems to be a challenge on this thread - OP clearly stated twice no manuals, every other suggestion a manual ***** 😂

I was also thinking Golf R since you seem to enjoy the GTI a great deal. I do agree they are both great cars.

if they can ever figure out electric cars, demand for gas may drop and as property values rise there may be better uses for gas station land and then it may become hard to get it delivered or price may be high, Or regulation. One day they may ban ICE cars from certain areas such as downtowns or may ban human driving cars because computers will be much safer...one day that I am not looking forward to btw.

Winter/ daily for my wife is a Golf R MK8 and I have to admit with its’ AWD - heated and cooled seats . Heated wheel ..335 hp and simply solid performance all around…it’s one nice car.

It's such a nice car. I was blown away by the quality feel, power, sound and decent ride. Had one for a few days on extended test and man was I tempted... just kinda tight for me at 6'5". Incredibly value compared to 2X the money for a Carrera S..

More research required for sure

How much space do you need?

If you can find a 15/16 Audi a6/a7 TDI, that would get decent fuel mileage... Diesel is now almost at par with Premium. A few months ago it was 50% more than regular.

That was on my short list before going on the infinite waiting list for the i4m50.

Yup, I was on a waitlist for one (2022) and gave up based on the lack of availability at the time and the transition to touch screen controls which just sounded like a PIA and a step backwards from what I have. Will have to investigate and see if things have improved?
