Need hatch to match GT4

[Phokaioglaukos]

Moving from US to Scotland (for first 6 months of 2018) to Dublin (for 9 years). Need a RHD car, and want it to be fun but able to transport dogs too. Plan to buy around Dundee and then take to Dublin without needing to pay VRT. Then (Porsche content) will figure out whether to bring GT4 from US to Dublin or not. I understand that no mechanical changes are necessary to adapt a LHD GT4 to UK/Ireland specs--just software changes for speedo and PDLS.

So, Golf? Fiesta, this or next gen? Models are different there than here, so please advise.

Thoughts on a LHD GT4 there?

Thanks!

Road tax in Germany is only €500 for the GT4, so thought about keeping it near Köln as a 'ring, Spa and weekend car.

Not Golf R?

Need a back seat for the dogs, so really want a 5 door.

That leaves room for a fun two seater.

Good thoughts.

The Golf R Estate is not sold in the US, as no many hot hatches are not. So I did not know it existed. Sounds great, with AWD. Just wish I could get a manual gearbox.
