Both the Golf R and Type R are better family cars with larger seating and cargo areas. The creature comforts are improved too. The Type R is even tougher to find than the GRC with insane markups. I also do not want FWD.
We owned a MK7 GTI and I was not super impressed with the mechanical build quality. The MK8 is strangely worse than the generation before it aesthetically (exterior) and user friendliness of their infotainment. In fact I am explicitly seeking a non-German daily for lower running costs. It should be a Lexus if I were smart but I want a rowdy, AWD, 6MT car with four doors. The WRX is so ugly I don’t know where to start.
If for some reason the GRC fails to meet my needs I’ll part ways and look for a MK7 GolfR.
