Same here. Currently drove Civic FD facelift too. Still love my Civic interior but fall in love with GTI power & handling after test drive them.
IMO, realibility, total cost of ownership of the car, service, spare parts are very important beside the looks and specification of the car.
For the high price of the care like conti, you will not want to go to service center once a month or frequently visit service center. I have used it before and TOTALLY REGRET for conti.
You have spent so much for a car, you will want to have a peace of mind and spend the rest of money and time with your beloved family and not just use the other $ to repair the unrealibility car and spend so much time to service center.
Now many AES, cannot even drive fast for fast car unless summon is not a issue for you. Summon = $.
Owning a car is like owning a house, just that car will reduce in value. You want to stay in a house with reliability and comfort, no water linkage, no electricity off, no roof top dropping, etc. as compare to a house full of fancy and high tech things but always need to call technician or contractor to repair.
Just sharing…
T&H still the best in car in MY.

by the way, how's the reliability of the mechatronics after the software update....?
Sharing: reliability is very important. looks for those give you peace of mind. You can sleep well for T&H.
As you also knows many issue on this advance gear box or turbocharge, not only that, bad service center and lack of service center also causes you problem.

Too bad it came with the 7speed DSG. I assume this is the dry clutch gearbox. Heard so many horror stories about the 7 speed DSG. One of my friend had to replace the entire gearbox in just less than 1 year!
Will regret ! Looks for peace of mind, T&H will give you.
