Would love to read your opinions between buying a VW Certified Pre-owned Golf R (2018-19 so it comes with 6yr/72k warranty+1year additional CPO) vs a new 2022 GTI S base model. I do not plan to keep the car outside of the warranty period. By the time I'm ready to purchase next year I expect a used Golf R to be around the same price as a new GTI S.
If I buy an MK7.5 Golf R I'll likey go with the DSG, and if a new MK8 GTI it will probably a manual transmission. Of course a test drive will decide. This would be my daily driver around Washington DC.
My Pros for each model:
GTI - Plaid seats, Exterior appearance, New car smell, More fun to drive?
Golf R - More analog and less digital, Performance, AWD, Resale value.
So if cost is about the same, which option would you pick?
