The Golf R is a good choice I hear.

I'm sure it drives great and is fun but I am not into the looks.

The one I had, to this day is still one of my favorite, if not my favorite daily I've ever had.

I don't disagree. It looks a little off but can't afford anything from Kulu so that's that lol

Kia stinger and a chip tune?

Golf R is a great DD for Calgary. I see it all the time with all kinds of people.

Golf R is a great DD for Calgary indeed. I only seem to see old white guys driving them though.

That's because Germany did bad things about 75 years ago and it's just coming up in cancel culture so only the most racist people (the white ones) endorse those actions by driving VW.

It's been almost a year since I sold my MK7R and I really regret that decision, best all around car I've ever owned by a long shot.

The want is getting stronger and stronger for the new one.

Same. Sold it 2 years ago and wish I didn't. Been tempted to put down a deposit on the MK8R but wife says No.

I went rs4 to golf r, back to rs4 and bought a alltrack as my winter car. Super happy with the alltrack not sure how long I’ll keep it but love the dsg compared to the golf R with the manual.

The mk8 doesn’t speak to me at this moment I don’t like the styling, I havnt seen the screens in person but in the videos they don’t look good. I’d prefer a mk7.5 I think if I had to buy one.

The manual MK7 was so frigging bad. Regretted that one quickly too. Was a great DD.

It's likely just an anomaly. I was in the Alberta MK7 Facebook group that had almost one thousand members and the majority of owners by far were in the range of 20-35 years old.
