Confession time:
I bought my Mk7 at the end of 2017. The facelifted MK 7.5 had just come out, and I absolutely hated it’s appearance.
Granted, I never got to check out the interior, but I thought the stock wheels looked atrocious, and I could endorse that front end.
Fast forward five years, and every time I watch a YouTube video by Jewel city, I cannot help but drool over his squeaky-clean off-white 7.5, dropped 1 inch with lightweight Enkei 18s.
Some of the features that became available on the 2019‘s were especially tempting.
So I’m throwing this out there: what year 2015–2020 is your favorite, and why?
Also, here is a great article C&D did on the 2019.
They did get the transmission wrong however… It is a 7-speed DSG .
