First thing would be (for me) Tig is a future proof vehicle. It got more space than Golfs and has the ability to tow things make it a suitable vehicle when family grows little bit. So space wise it will be fine for me for at least few more years.
Also performance wise golf R we are getting is slightly detuned and probably doing 0 - 100 in low 5 secs and moding/tuning it, would void the warranty as same as my current Tig. Also performance upgrades may not be available ASAP and may take many months to get all the bugs sorted out. So better wait two three years after they release the car and let others to find out most of the issues before I jump in.
Honestly for my eye Tigs looks better than golfs specially new MK7 version.
Last but not least my Tig is just one year old and selling it going to cost me a lot now and and I think best to wait three/four years before think about a change.
But all this is my thought process and could change or solidify when I met a Golf R mk7 in the future.By that time probably there could be many second hand A45 AMGs may be floating around too.
