New, 2017 VW Golf Wolfsburg

New, 2017 VW Golf Wolfsburg.
I'm about to take the plunge.
Dealer gave me $20k even out the door in writing.

Talk me out of it.

a regular golf? not a GTI or R?

Yes.
GTI is $30k.
R is $40k.

Too much.

buying a regular golf in America is like buying a v6 mustang especially if its a new car under warranty unless you are crazy enough to modify a new car.

Hey it's still more hp than most of the competition. The Golf has a 170 hp over the Mitsubishi Lancer's 140 hp, or even that of a Chevy Cruze.

less than a Civic hatch though

>CVT
Keep it.

the power difference is small and the golf get a better automatic transmission.

It comes in manual

Buy a used one, there are tons of low mileage MK7 GTI's for 20k
