Just bought a 2015 GTI
I traded in my C2S last week. Ended up getting a 2015 GTI SE and $$. I have always been big fan of the GTI. My family has always been a VW fam.(GTI, Scirocco, Golfs, etc..). I absolutely LOVE this car. It's loaded out with nice options and it's so easy to drive.
I put on new rubber and bot an AP and just flashed it. Man, does it make a difference. Tint this weekend and Short shifter. I am looking forward to having this for a few years. I still have my 335 and the plan is to buy a 997 TT within a year or two and sell/trade in the GTI but...I think I may have to keep it! Anyway, a lot of car for the $$. |

Love mine. Smaller, relatively light cars with an odd number of pedals are getting hard to find. Works great for dog, kid and bike duty. Summer tires and a flash really wake them up too. Enjoy.

Yeah I live in FL and it came with A/S tires...F&R were different brands. Had to do it right. Summers all the way. The car is Black on Black so it's going in Sat. am for 3M Crystalline all around, 7o on the Windshield and sunroof....should work!

I loved my 07 GTI. I think I’d go Golf R if I did another Golf though. Just waiting for the 2018s to finally show up on dealership lots which apparently is some sort of issue.

Nice! I just bought a 16 fiesta st for a new daily. Not as luxurious as the gti but still a all around fun car.

Congrats and welcome to the GTI club!
I love mine. Great family hauler and super fun with three pedals.

Yup.
Bought a MkIV new in 2002 and chipped it, installed custom VDO gauges (and Alpine audio w/Infinity Kappas), slapped on a relatively quiet catback, and added body-color mesh front valance inserts. Kept everything else stock -- even the OEM 15-inch wheels -- which was my point. Stealth. It made @235HP. It was affectionately called "Boxstah Killah". Fantastic car.

Will do! I just has it tinted with 3m Crystaline all around..70 on windshield too. That stuff is incredible...big $$ but great. I may put on some Bilstein coilovers. With the tune, it feels almost out of control.... I love this car. The original idea was to have it for a year or 2 but I may just have to keep it. |

I have a 17 SE as well for a beater
Grab yourself a dog bone insert mount for the car world of difference in the shifter feel and reduced wheel hop ECS has a great one with the replacement bolt for about $49 |
