nicely camouflaged as a Reno Velsatis
Certainly didn’t look like isolating in Lisburn an hour ago!
Looked superb, health to enjoy!
Definitely wasn’t us going to BK drive through….

45? I just had a quick Google and saw a few including Evo. No idea who those 2 are tbh.
That's the first Mk8 Golf that I have liked the look of. HTD
I quite like the look of 8R but I wanted to move to something a bit unique (as far as a stock VW can be), and the pops and bangs from the Akraprovic exhausts are endlessly amusing
To be fair, there has never been an Anniversary Edition Golf that didn't get slated in reviews... it's par for the course. I've still owned two of them
The main complaint in the CS45 reviews was the price, it's a little dearer than the R and obviously lacks the AWD performance. Another was the steering was a little numb, I've only had it a week in rush hour driving so I honestly can't comment. It's main competition in reviews is the latest CTR which is quite a bit faster, cheaper and is a more raw driving experience.
This ticks every box for me, loads of gadgets and just enough sporty bits without tipping into the ASBO looking world of the CTR... and my son absolutely loves it!
It's certainly proving more challenging at getting power down than the 7R!!Only 2!! You are lucky lol the wife’s has been in umpteen times and now she just gets on with it. Phillips have been great to be fair.

My first GTI from Nov '20 went back after 4 months as it just wouldn't work... complete disaster.
The latest one has only had a single error since I got it, and it wasn't one that made me stop and restart the car.
CS vs CS45... Same car, just different trim.

VW Golf GTI Clubsport 45 review: happy birthday GTI? Reviews 2023 | Top Gear
Happy birthday Golf GTI? How many years is it now? Ah, the big forty-five. Volkswagen first introduced the world to a quick Golf with some lipstick around its grille and a rocket up its bum way back in 1976. Long while ago, 1976. The same year as the first commercial Concorde flight and three...
