Is manual non negotiable? I'm a die hard manual fan but admit that a modern 8 speed auto is a pretty good thing day to day. I wouldn't say the same for a Dual clutch tho...
Do you get Golf R wagons in the states? That would be the choice.
Also, mate of mine at work just got a Golf R hatch - installed a wheel spacer kit and subtle lowering springs and it looks a lot better, without standing out as modified. Same ride quality too.

I'd love a Golf R Wagon.
Coincidentally they don't make a manual in the Golf R any more either

I would go auto if I wanted to go with some larger sedan or estate type car... Nothing against that. I'd love an A8 or something. Just can't afford it and also it would look ridiculously obnoxious in my small driveway right off the street.

I lowered my GTI but I did it properly and also changed the struts (Bilstein B8) to match it. I also flushed the wheels with 10/15 mm spacers. It's amazing how high quality the ride is and the car looks amazing. Can't do that with an R because it would ruin the DCC. I would get wider wheels with a bigger ET though.I've thought about remapping, getting turbo back exhaust and putting a short shifter on it. May I will do that. Would save me a car payment.
