drop 5 inches, put on a bike rack

That's why I suggested Racingline Part. Racingline is VW's own tuning division, like TRD is to Toyota/Lexus/Scion.
If people say "oh that's aftermarket", you can just say, "Yes, but these parts were made BY Volkswagen, and won't void any warranty"

Funny thing is, even TRD parts will lower resale value to an actual Toyota dealer if it isn't a package of some sort or a special edition vehicle.

not as much as it usually would.

Buy a scirocco body, it's the only way to make a golf not look horrible

Funny, where I live you only see GTI's and GTD's driven by jobless mouthbreathers who just dropped out of school.

There are also dads with a limited budget who will buy the 1.6L 90hp and drive straight from the dealership to the nearest tuner for that "healthy factory" 55hp bump.

All in all it's usually people without tastes who end up with a Mk7.

Not that I dislike the golf in general, it's not bad looking, but with so many retards driving them, it's hard not to be biased.

>I can determine job and education of driver by looking alone
>literally jealous of a fucking golf
Some Eastern European shithole?

Nope, western EU. And I usually drive in the same region, Everyone knows everyone around here in some way, so I don't determine anything, I just observe.

It's obvious the market a same model can occupy will vary depending on where it's sold, that's why I started with "where I live".

26, network infrastructure engineer. I'm not especially rich though, still saving for my first house, I used to drive a Mazda 3, now it's an AE101, which was a personnal choice really, I just love this car.
