Was getting tired of my X5 and with the wifey getting a new SUV I did an 180 and bought a 2012 6 speed VW GTI to have some fun.

Lots of car for the money and a blast to drive.

 

Nice car buckwheat, I have always liked the GTI

 

thanks NV...its a nice little car...tuning it tomorrow for even a little more performance.

best

 

congrats on your new GTI. looks great.

 

Thanks colt...appreciate it.....just gotthe tune today...will give it a few days and report back.

 

Great car and best color. I love my CW MKV 6 Speed

 

Love it. That's quite the 180° from the X5

 

Nice color choice! I am amazed at this little car. I've had mine 2 years now and it is as solid as the day I bought it. Fun and Fast! Congrats!

 

PBG,

sharp...got to say I love this car more and more each day.

I have to do something with the crappy dunlops, but the rest is pure joy.

The tune has been great and certainly worth the $600.

 

Mine came on Goodyear Eagles with the Karthoums and they are "OK" but pretty noisy. I'll probably need tires by next year and Michelin's will go back on. My Boxster had Pilot Sports and I loved them.

I haven't done much from stock. Tint, some cosmetic things but nothing engine related. I'm thinking of doing the Driver's Gear springs just to drop it a bit, again, cosmetic. Although I have heard goods things about them handling wise.

 

I just picked up the 4dr version of yours. Really is a great little car. What company's tune did you to for?

Edit, I didn't look in your signature. I am planning on going APR as well, I bought their intake already. And mine came with Pirelli P Zeros

 

Hey, congratulations on the purchase! Are you thinking of changing the wheel setup on this?

 

awesome...all the best...P zeros are much better...enjoy

 

I'm not sure i will drop it...i have scraped the bottom plastic a couple of times already.

If you do the springs let us know you thoughts with the handling.

thanks

 

yeah...i dont miss the X5 at all....this car is just plain fun and its a pretty nice car.
