I don’t know what vw were thinking. Quite a few car makers have gone down the route of less buttons and everything done on the screen, but have then put some buttons back after customer feedback and i feel the golf mk8.5 will do the same.
I am so glad i decided not to wait for the mk8 to arrive which was well past my order date or exchange and one could not even get a mk7.5 to replace the mk7 i did have..would of been very disappointed indeed.
Plus it seems vw have gone down the route of alot of stuff is an added extra and or part of a pack. Increasing the price. Where as some other makers are doing alot as standard on the trim levels.
The new r-line is not as well spec’d as the out going model thats for sure but does have more tech i guess but no folding mirrors unless i think you get the style, but those wheels are rather nasty looking imo..
The gtd i dunno when it will come onto the scheme but i just dunno if it’s worth waiting for.
So glad i opted for the civic sport, I liked the golf alot but i really do enjoy and love driving the civic more, The ap is more than the basic golf trims right now but with the add on’s you’d need to add and that it’s a 1.5l (182 bhp) engine and has a bigger boot than the golf and the ride is just alot better also in everyway..
