Amazing tech, very comfortable, fun to drive. Last year they will be offering stick shift. 20th anniversary edition has no sunroof which I like. Liked it more than the GR Corolla surprisingly. Coming from a 13 year old GTI.

The rising blue color on the Golf R is THE color to have. The stock 18inch wheels are beautiful as well. Interior is top top notch, like something out of a 60K car and the steering wheel is from a lamborghini. Great engine, brakes, steering. Huge interior space.
