Golf MK 8

That's much nicer than the MK7, which is not a nice looking car in my opinion. Still not as nice as the Leon though.
I had a mk5 Golf (2.0 TDI 140) and loved it. The mk6 & 7 just didn't do it for me, looks or interior wise. I drove a mk7 2.0 TDI 150 (couldn't afford or justify a GTD) when I was looking for my new car but for the price of the 184 FR Leon and all the toys I couldn't say no! Plus the Leon is sexy as hell compared to the sensible Golf and agreed even the mk8 is still not as good looking as the Leon.
There isn't a big difference but its there. The dealer went on and on about the rear suspension and how it felt amazingly different but the big thing for me was the power delivery. Linear in the 150 versus revvy as fooook in the 184. It just needs to hurry up and get delivered now 
They used to, it was called FR lol now everything is an FR but it started with the mk2's so its not the mk3's fault

and 3 between £27k and £30k.
it will be a typical AutoEx render but because golfs hardly change it will probably be close to the actual car lol they have stolen the front from the ed40 tho...
I've driven both mk3 leon and the mk7 golf, the difference is noticeable between 150 and 184 engines for sure
the ride on the leon is much harder - the golf is more comfortable ride and you feel less bumps in the road
managed to find a mk 7 gt tdi with every toy on it and the styling kit fitted for less than a leon so i swapped

Nice, a 150 or 184? Pics?
Edit: I guess you went from a 184 Leon to a 150 Golf. Still pics tho.

Actually, R Line is just a trim as well. It sits above GT. So it's a higher spec than your Golf. Can't get the R Line with GTD or GTI as far as I am aware.
Lovely looking car, those wheels set it off. Nice colour too.
Yeah man and its prohibitively expensive. Cool but expensive as fook.
