The price of the new VW Golf GTI ~ from about 45K - 65K in 4 years ~ makes me wonder if VW are raising ICE prices to narrow the sticker shock to their EVs. Because they will need to be selling EVs in bulk quicker than they will be able to cost-down. When the ID.4 arrives, it will seem sensibly priced. EDIT: Its also now competing with a Tesla Model 3. 5.6 seconds to 100. Better depreciation and 1/3 the running costs.

At a time where there is stiffer competition from competitors, VW decided to cheap out on the overall package and raise prices.

Put in my reservation fee for the car today. I was struggling if I wanted Mazda 6 GT SP or the Golf GTI. I still have this struggle. Partially because I know Mazda will be able to give me 5K off the original price, while the Golf GTI only offer a 1K bargaining, half-price servicing, and 1-year rego is fairly standard. I know these 2 cars are different, but what would you reckon? I still think the Mazda6 wagon has better potential in modifying and better exterior design. If anyone sees this comment, please comment and help me out. It's not too late to pull the pin yet. P.S. I don't have a family, but to me, Mazda 6 is appealing solely because it may be good for some road trips/ long journeys/ less likely to be stolen/and has a more luxurious interior but looks subtle ane low-key. However, love how GTI sounds and handles. I have never had the chance to test drive Mazda 6 because the local dealer doesn't have this car (across the state!)

The 7.5 is starting to look old and tired inside as you would expect from a design that is almost ten years old. I am on my seventh GTI spanning the last twenty years so it would have been rude not buy a MK8. The biggest issue facing buyers is not price but rather supply constraints.

The pricing of this doesn't justify that aspiration. It's still sedate enough for regular driving but it seems specced up for people who want to take it on a track on the weekend. I'd prefer a car priced in the mid 40K AUD that goes back to its roots. Perhaps that's where the Polo GTI makes more sense to me.

So I pose this question. Is the mark 8 GTi a big leap forward from the mark 7.5 and if not why would someone buy it given the additional price tag?

It is a marginal step forward, but I suppose my key point is that the package was already very good - the GTI didn’t need to be reinvented. As for the price: the market will pay what it will pay. You can no longer buy a brand new Mk 7.5 GTI in Australia. They’re all gone. So if you want a new Golf GTI, it’s Mk 8 or nothing, isn’t it.
