This was at the end of 2021 or beginning of 2022, so the Mk8 wasn't out yet. Mk 8 models are also a bit more expensive, so the discrepancy would be a bit better in that case, I would imagine. Out of curiosity, are the Mk8s not too well received, or are Mk7s preferred?

I don't mind the change, but my current car works and I might as well hold out for an EV like Cupra Born or Peugeot e-208 personally.

Mk8 is a great car IF you don't mind touch screens and touch controls for everything instead of traditional rotating knobs and buttons.

Unfortunately, a lot of people can't get over this change, so the Mk7 is considered a "peak GTI".
