Very nice - I’m in a MKVII GTI these days too. Contemplated going for the R but I’m only driving 2 miles a day for my commute to the train and dealers are almost completely unwilling to negotiate on the R’s. My former coworker had to fly from NY to NC just to find a dealer willing to give him a price break.
The detailing on the R is so much tidier…can’t argue with the quad pipes and none of the little front fog light vents the GTI gets.
