Hi there,
My name is Adam, I'm from Sydney and I have recently purchased a Mk7 Golf R manual.
This is my first Volkswagen, and first European vehicle for that matter, having come from Japanese cars previously.
I put quite a lot of thought into this purchase and considered a few vehicles such as:
1. Hyundai i30N
2. Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ
3. Mk7 GTI (The '40 Years' specifically)
4. Subaru WRX
I chose the Mk7 Golf R as I feel that it was the best option in my price range for a vehicle that has most modern features, great performance, and a healthy aftermarket. I like the subtle classy exterior (with some slight aggression - i.e the headlight design (with DRLs) when viewed front on) and the interior has held up quite well in my opinion with nice materials and an intuitive layout.
As much as I appreciate the performance benefit of VW's DSG, I chose the manual as I love the engagement it gives you when out on winding roads, and at low speeds too.
I am excited to learn all about this new platform and hopefully meet some cool people in the community at the same time.
Cheers,
Adam
