        Awesome little car with kick

        by Joseph King on 4/18/2023 12:34:01 PM

        When I first got this little hatchback I expected it to be slow and and all that. But after driving around the highway, I see it is pretty darn fast. DSG is pretty quick to shift and i like it.…

        Fahrenheit is Tight!

        by Tennessee Tom on 9/6/2022 9:29:10 PM

        As a Vol fan, I'm a sucker for anything orange, and, when I saw this car in a dealer's lot, I did a U-turn to check it out, then bought it. Was driving a white 2008 VW GTi already! It has aged, but still handles superbly, accelerates and brakes well, and is comfortable enough for me (good leg room). Was considering a Mazda 3 or this, bought this, and glad I did! The DSG transmission is very good, and forgiving, but be careful when downshifting! The recommended gas is premium, though I use midgrade. Performance would be better with premium. Had it chipped at APR, but have it set for regular driving, not the high-performance, which requires super-premium gas. Mileage has suffered as it has aged, get around 23 to 25 mpg overall. Love the hatchback, as I can put a 55-gallon drum in the back! Headlights don't light up the road as well as I'd like, but are adequate. Headliner coming loose in several places. Leather driver's seat cracked, so I bought seat covers. Radio works great, but the LCD screen has faded so much I can't tell what station I'm listening to, unless I'm using my presets. A/C is good; so is heat. Controls are easy to use, once I learned where everything was. I plan to keep this car for as long as it runs.…

        Great car, Ive enjoyed 8 years with it

        by St.Louis_GTI_Owner on 9/14/2018 3:59:04 AM

        Bought it used in 2011, and have enjoyed it immensely the last 8 years. Other than the usual coil pack failures, the only issue I had was a turbocharger that needed replacing at 90K. It has never stranded me though, and Id strongly consider buying another. The car feels very refined and high quality, the factory stereo is very good, and its well equipped. I love the fact that there is room to throw my road bike in the back with no disassembly, and yet its fast, and handles extremely well.…
