I also wonder whether I should just drive my paid for, perfect condition, 50K, 2011 MKVI GTI for 3 more years and then go electric
Boring I know, but keeping seems like a better option. It's also less wasteful if that matters to you.
What's the deposit going to be on the R? $1,500?
How much is a new half decent exhaust and a remap? Can't be more than that.
Also aren't coilovers now quite cheap too?
Not suggesting you go overboard and throw a fortune at it, but a couple of thoughtful upgrades would change the feel of the car, and tbh a change is often as enjoyable as the change.

Here my "what car to get in 3 months time" post.
I'm gaining momentum for a new car soon. Last effort was squashed by the arrival of a new baby and upgrading my wife's car. I'm in the States. Here's my short list.
Anything else? It has to have 4 doors and be a manual, and it should be AWD.
Probably going to go with the Golf R because it's the most practical and understated. I just feel like I should wait for the MKVIII if going that route.
I also wonder whether I should just drive my paid for, perfect condition, 50K, 2011 MKVI GTI for 3 more years and then go electric when things get more interesting. I just find myself driving it like I stole it too much lately... in other words, really finding it boring.
