I just got out of break in, but it’s been great so far. I haven’t tuned it yet, or put my 200tw tires on, but the Magna rear diffs sure give it a more balanced feel than the Haldex in the previous generation.
I’ll get a better intercooler in it and wait for Cobb to get the AP Tuner working so I can stick with EQT. Unless APR gets their at home tuning working, then I may try them out. |

The only people suggesting anything other than the CTR are those that haven't driven/owned one. There is nothing, and I mean nothing that touches it in its class.
If you're deadset on the Golf, I'd wait until they fix the infotainment next year. The 22 and 23s will be extremely undesirable from a resale perspective once that is fixed next model year. |

MK 8 Golf R Looks so good with Oettinger aftermarket parts. But, I will also say that the fl5 is also visually pleasing inside and out.

And as far as long term values go, right now we are just getting out of a goofy time for car value retention. When that finished crashing down, the Type R would still hold its value (it did so very well even before Covid) and as every other VW, on a long enough timeline the value for the Golf will be $0 |

I’ve driven both on road and on track and unless you were just committed to tracking in a stock class (in a cooler climate) and doing very little daily driving, I wouldn’t pick the CTR over the old R and certainly not over the new one. |

CTR. Felt like the better driving car to me. You forget about the way it looks the longer you drive it….well, until some ricer or some POS 4.6 new edge keeps following you to provoke a race.
