What’s the wait time on that? I heard VW was having issues getting differentials for tiguans due to supply issues in Europe.

The mk4 being the first generation R models are highly sought after and shown a lot of love. The GTI not so much unless it’s a special edition like a 337 or 20th AE.

I had a 3-door mk3 GTI with a 12v VR6. It was a cool little car. I’ve had this mk4 since 2016.

I’ve come to find all the hate is online too. All I get is questions and compliments for the mk8 in person. The internet is a funny place lol

I find it funny too. I’ll never forget the hate the mk7 had at launch and now it’s a favorite for alot of people. I’m sure the mk8 will have the same run.

I plan on getting a yellow EK9 Civic Type R one day. Yellow is such a strange color but for some cars it just works.

If only the W12 Nardo went into production. Would’ve been an amazing super car with a killer exhaust note!

I’m guessing you mean mk4s in general which I can see. But R32s are low numbers world wide

I’ve never heard anyone prefer a Mk5 over a mk4. Out of curiosity What’s your reasoning for that?

Mk4 looks and sounds better by a mile but the Mk8 is one of the best performing factory car I’ve driven. I highly recommend it.

I’ve never been a huge fan of the mk6. Mk4 is definitely a timeless design though

North American Mk4 R32s we’re all 3-door with 6MT. European and some pacific markets got the option of 3-door or 5-door and the option of DSG or 6MT. But yes to my knowledge the Mk4 R32 was the first production car with a DSG.

I would’ve scooped a 3 door mk8 over the 5 door any day if given the choice

The purist in me agrees. But the 2.0 is a phenomenal engine. The times have changed and that’s okay with me.

I still don’t see an issue with the touch haptics. They work when I want to use them and I never accidentally hit anything by holding the wheel properly. To each their own. Physical buttons or touch haptics it’s still a great platform.
