It’s from December so you may all have seen it, but if not it’s a decent read...

Good article - it must be annoying for the volks in Wolfsburg to consistently have their new offering compared less favourably to one 3 generations older, that now costs a 10th of the price of their new one.

I still can't comprehend there being no 3 door option for the Mk8

Likewise, it's been more costly than running an RX7 tbh but I still have no intention of selling it.

The reason I cannot upgrade to a newer car..........nothing out there is a patch on a 15 yr old gti car
