The thing I always love about the Golf's is the seating position and the greenhouse... it's got that old school feel of low beltline and lots of glass you can see everything in it. Most modern cars feel like you're a little kid sitting in a bathtub.
The most modern car that comes close to this is the Subaru Forester. Max out the seat height and you pretty much have a 360 degree unobstructed view that makes you feel like the Pope.
My Golf has it too but I can't get high enough without my head touching the ceiling. I have to Fat Joe lean back with the seat jacked up. The Corolla hatch loaner I had for 2 weeks could get the same-ish seating position. The roof was higher since it was a peasant spec with no sunroof.
I wish we got the Sportsvan from Europe

I'm really digging this new GTI colour with the (also new) Queenstown wheels... really dislike the GTI letters on the side though are those on the MY2024?? I can't remember from Badhobz's now.
Looks like even more cost cutting on the mk8.5
My gti badge on the fender is an actual badge. This looks super tacked on.
Nothing aliexpress can’t fix but still….
Oh and nice Alfa rip off wheels.

Yeah, things look door handles will always go bad on these.
Couple things to look for..
1) AWD model because RWD rear motors WILL fail.
2) At least one battery pack replacement because they WILL fail because of primitive BMS.
3) Media screen/computer have been upgrade because they WILL run out of RAM/fail
4) Has autopilot computer.
They can be a good buy.
Range and fast charging speed is usable for Vancouver climate/driving even without heatpump.
I was gonna say holy shit have these finally come back down to realistic?
Then I clicked into it and it's not m-tech II and unfortunately still overpriced. Damn. For kids these days, the E90 should be "my" E46, which means this should be E36 pricing by now.. but I guess a sorted clean E36 would have been around this price (idk i wasn't looking or I don't remember there to be any). Wild.
I didn't know non-m's could option for adjustable lumbar seats. Thought it was just an opt. for M3. That is however, a very nice touch... if it still works.

Yeah, seems reasonably priced. It’s more of a well-kept, mature spec than the enthusiast’s dream—perfect for someone less serious about their road car or just wanting a lower-hassle window into the past like me.
Even though it's not a ZHP/ZAM car, it still has the 6 speed.
ZSP (Sport Package) gave it bolstered seats/stiffer suspension and it also has Premium and Cold Weather packs because of the moon roof, ski bag and headlight washers.
Sonick is a genius. I won't go into detail what's so great about his post. But it's damn good!

Yeah this one looks like the most desirable spec with hotter cams, higher redline,.
Can tell because of the alcantara interior.
E46 wise, Canada got
1) sport pack (the blue one)
2) M Sport (desirable bumpers and visuals but no cam/exhaust/redline bump)
3) M Sport Performance (which this one is)
The maintenance on this one is super sus.
They replaced ZHP damper with Bilstein B4 daily bullshit, raising the ride height compared to stock.
It should’ve gotten B8 (Performance Plus, lowered); 500 CAD difference.
Probably has another 10k of deferred maintenance:
VANOS & tensioner, all mounts, cooling & water pump, trailing arms, driveshaft stuff, DISA/PCV/subframe
