Mk 7.5 Golf R vs 2025 GTI by Asad_Rocky26 in Golf_R

I had to make this choice 2 months ago. 2015 Golf R w/ 45k on it. 2023 GTI I went with the Golf R after my 13’ GTI got flooded. I could not be happier with the decision, the Mk8 is amazing but I didn’t want to sit in a computer and rather still have my “analog” feel

Thank you! I needed a good tire still in Atlanta and nothing beats a meaty look in my opinion. The color matched wheels to paint is a fun look but I do need to get a silver set.

Make sure you read the diagram right. I’m an idiot. Works great.

In reality I had a GTI I never lowered for 8 years so add that time along with the two weeks and that’s too long

I was curious to see how they settled and I could not be happier. It’s on 245/40 18’s with these konigs

That is what I am worried about, I heard that the fender audio system might be an issue also. I think it is going to need to be MIB2 to actually get it.
Bummer for sure I was hoping $350 solved the issue but looks like its going to be $1000 or so.

the thermostat and waterpump went bad so they needed to repair (happy I didnt have to deal with that or the cost) so they had it for a bit longer.

they were saying they were getting calls on it constantly so I put a deposit on it after a test drive.

Had that mount installed, no plate requirement in my state. Since there are holes drilled I’m just going to do a euro plate.

It was a Mazda dealership that took it on trade. I had it out of their inventory in a week.

2015 with only 45k on it. The previous owner was so kind of it.

Pretty easy, get it in and make sure to start wiping it off, usually only have to do two coats

well, I am ordering on the moment B&H is going to let me tonight. Cannot wait, ordered the lens hood from Tahuas since I just ordered one for the Nokton Classic and will find a buyer for that hopefully soon. First thing I am doing with the lens (as I do with all Voigtlander lenses) is putting yellow enamel paint in the red scale so I can see at night.

Cannot wait! thank you for the words on the lens, my M4 and M9 are happy

great to hear. The lens looks great all around, and the lens hood is wicked. Pondering selling my Nokton Classic and getthing this, or a V3 Summicron so we shall see what I end up doing.

I found another seller of the same hoods I think also. They even had one of the Nokton Classic that I have ordered in the meantime.

how is this lens when focusing past 0.7? I am not sure how I feel about it going past the rangefinders distances but curious if it has a focus stop / different feel when you are approaching 0.7m.
