Mk7 GTI vs. 2024 GLI

[Parabola]

Keep the mk7 and start putting the equivalent of the GLI cat payment away for the inevitable water pump, clutch, and possibly timing chain.

Water pump will go at some point, I am aware of that. Clutch and timing chain, those should be ok while I have the car...I will probably get rid of the car before those become due for replacement as I put roughly 5-6k miles/year on it.
