He needs to treat himself, and not buy an overpriced..Golf.
Ok, if it's taxed in that's not bad. Has he tried the Tiguan? Or the Golf Wagon? Might be what he's looking at, as they carry stuff better and are a better value for money.

The TDI Golf Wagon is fully loaded at about 30k plus tax except for the factory nav, but the stock system sucks (as I know from experience). Very slow and unresponsive.

The Tiguan is a little pricier but it does come with the options he wants and is AWD. It's also a very nice little SUV in terms of handling.

However, if he wants to keep them for 10+ years he might be better off choosing a different brand entirely.

Yeah, it probably won't if it's a 335 coupe and it's manual. However, 335 sedan (or xi sedan, even better) and automatic? I'll take my chances. Stage II will make it a driver's game.
