Still a fun car to drive!
I had the MK7 and now the MK8 GTI and I am really impressed with the performance of this car, also the touch screen and haptic controls are really easy to use once you know where everything is.

Sad but true
I’ll really like everything about the car’s chassis, engine, motor, and interior. I dislike the overly complex infotainment system with no mobs for radio or HVAC. It’s hard to concentrate on driving with this system. Hopefully they will add some physical knobs since it seems to be universally abhorred.

Not a MK7
Totaled my MK7, naturally the new GTI was my go to choice. I should’ve stayed with the old model. Performance and driving dynamics are solid. Styling is very handsome. That’s where it stops for me, the infotainment system and lack of buttons is infuriating. The MK8.5 will be close to perfect if VW takes an evolutionary approach rather than the current revolution. Won’t be keeping this one.

Owned a 1 year and it's just getting better with a
I have owned many cars in my 30+ years of driving. Many Volkswagens and many luxury cars. This is my first GTI. I have owned it for nearly a year and I look forward to driving it everyday. I also look forward to maybe buying another, next time a Golf R. But for now it is a tremendous car. There have been a few negatives but the positives way outweigh the negatives. I have the Autobahn Pomelo Yellow. Yes there have been some electronic bugs and quirks but they all have been under warranty and taken care. I have had couple of flat tires, one warrantied. I think it's because the roads here in Southern California suck and the tires and suspension really rock when going over potholes and road hazards. The stereo radio would go off and stop working for like ten minute intervals when i first got the car but probably due to software updates, those are not a issue anymore. I do now have a sensor issue within the parking brakes but no problem; its under recall and it will be fixed. This care is tremendously fun to drive, and the quality and craftsmanship is beyond expected. Long Live GTIs!

Best Hot Hatch ever in North America!!
The criticism this car gets from journalists and supposed owners (mainly infotainment related) is massively overblown. This is my second Golf GTI, the first being the MK6, and the improvements are massive. The new GTI drives MUCH sharper, with crisper steering, a much more rigid platform, and with the adaptive dampers, has a much broader bandwidth for driving dynamics. All the hate the car gets for the haptic switchgear and infotainment system is unfounded. I love how clean the interior design is, and the infotainment system is super intuitive after a few uses. Android Auto works flawlessly and the system is quick to load with no lag. Also, the new GTI is both more powerful than older models, more fuel efficient, and gets full power on 87 octane. What's not to love?
