I'm on my second Golf R - had new Mk7 for two months now so just run in and whilst I thought the previous model was great the new Mk7 is a step improvement. Few cars are faster in real world condition's on B roads due to its relatively small footprint and awesome grip. Powers through corners in the wet with amazing grip. Tyre choice seems to matter on the mk6 so suspect it does on the 7 as well.
mine is Golf 7 - blue with adaptive suspension and panoramic sunroof (keeps it light and airy).
Don't doubt it helps the majority, but I suspect local knowledge and innate ability, in one way or another, are at least as handy. As is being in the driveway in the first place & being remotely reliable, from the sound of things.


Shame in a way as has a lot of positives as a daily, just 3 or 4 potentially glaring problems.
