The other issue is hatchbacks like the GTI really have tiny "trunks" when the rear seats are up. That is why I never buy a hatch... Trunk space is way too important to me.
$40k for a non-R Golf? are they fucking kidding?
My friend was able to pick up a leftover 2019 GTI Autobahn Trim (DS6) for <$30k and got the 6/72 warranty. That's a better option if they have any 2019's left on the lot.
Trunk is way too small when the rear seats are up... at least for me.
What are you putting back there? Holds a weeks worth of luggage and pillows for three of us and a dog just fine. Volume is good, but length is of course the limit. If you're loading something long and wide, it will be too small. Worth noting that the load floor can be lowered about three inches from the standard setup too.

Mk8 will almost certainly offer ACC on the mid level trim, but we're probably twelve to eighteen months from those, and of course no one in their right mind buys a first year VW/Audi.
