Today I went to pick up a sideview mirror from the dealer. I saw a black mk8r. Out of curiosity I asked one of the sales guys how long it takes for them to come in. To my surprise he said, we have 8 in stock. I said, ok, why - turns out a bunch of people canceled their orders as financing went from 1.9 to 7.9. I asked him to go for a drive. I drove a white DSG. The DSG felt nice, the car felt really solid and very well built. There were 0 creeks, squeaks or any other noise. The haptic buttons were not a huge bother, but I could see the lack of illumination on the heating controls being less than ideal. I punched it. It did not feel fast to me coming out of my car. The car felt solid. I liked it, I did not love it enough to make it my next car. It's too similar to the GTI but a lot slower. Feels nice to have a sideview mirror again.
