I was thinking about GTIs the other day. Walked past a nice mk7 in white and thought to myself “that is still such a nice looking car”. I’d go so far as to say that it’s a “sweet spot” under 50k. Spending more or less than what a GTI costs seems to quicky reach diminishing returns. Actually started looking to see if I could find some deals - you’re right that used prices don’t make sense. There’s not much about the mk8 that woukd make me want to wait for it and in fact There’s several things that I really don’t like about it.

I suppose reliability isn’t going to be up to Honda/Toyota standards but should be atleast as good as the other cars (mini for example) that you’re considering.
