Also worth pointing out that if you have the money and don't drive a ton of miles, it might be worth stepping up to an RS3 or M2 just for the wildly better resale retention.
I drove the R a few times before buying both of my GTIs, and while I don't prefer it, they do have much stronger value retention that's nearly swung me that route each time. I just can't overcome the softer feel and added weight.
