Going to be selling my R at the end of this month. The car is a 4-Door Rising blue with sunroof and navi. Mileage is at 15,5XX and the two year service was done a few weeks ago. The in-service date of this car was April 14, 2012. The water pump and battery have both been replaced under...

Just trying to find out if CSG spots like black does after it gets wet and the car dries. Thanks!

Looking for suggestions for an experienced car audio installer. I am in Boynton Beach and would use one in either north Broward (Coral Springs, Deerfield Beach) or south or central Palm Beach. Thanks!

Are either of the 12V outlets in the GTI switched? If so, which one(s)? Thanks.

So I have plans to get a GTI in the next 6 months or so and I will be leasing. One thing I definitely plan to do immediately is put summer tires on it. Now, I will have enough funds for one, and only one, other major mod and I was planning on replacing the stock Detroits with some lighter...

These two cars have worked their way to the top of my short list. While they clearly swim in two differently priced ponds, they both hit many of my enjoyment buttons in similar ways. The GTI has a price advantage and I also prefer the hatch look to the three-box sedan styling. The interiors...

Not sure is this has been posted or not yet: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=149 June 28, 2011 Tires tested: Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT (Max Performance Summer 225/45R17 94Y) What We Liked: Crisp, responsive handling and very good wet traction What We'd Improve: Reduce...

Yes, these look very similar (7 spoke vs 10 spoke). The Enkei's are 19 lbs vs 21.3 lbs for the Sparco's. Big difference? The Enkei's are $225 each vs $170 for the Sparco's, a $220 difference for a set. Opinions on these differences and on the brands themselves? Thanks! (Sparco on top.)

I am not sure which I like the best, but I just want to see if any look particularly bad. My wife thinks that, because I am nearly 42, that the red is a bit too juvenile.

What are the cloth seats like in hot weather? I am assuming they will feel cooler than leather. What say you? Anyone go from leather to the cloth and feel that the cloth is indeed better in the heat? Also, how would you rate the overall comfort of the cloth seats, both the seats themselves and...

Quick question, does the GTI have only four fan speeds?

Just wanted to pass this along for those who might be interested. I am not affiliated with the dealership. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5358116-Golf-R-Pre-Order-Group-Buy-3-off-MSRP!

For those that have swapped out their all-season tires for summer tires, how much of a performance improvement (braking, handling, acceleration) would you say they delivered. When I get my GTI I am considering immediately swapping out the all-season tires for summer ones, so I was curious...

Just curious why those that have gone this route went with the choice they did. I know that those that wanted a larger sub had to go with the side mount, but if I was just going to go with an 8" or shallow 10" sub, is there an advantage to going with a side mount (other than mounting depth...

Forgive my lack of knowledge on this, but I have not done any aftermarket car stereo upgrades for about 20 years. Planning on getting a GTI with the non-Dynaudio stereo. When adding a sub and amp, would it be advisable to intercept the signal from the HU and run it through a crossover and have...

In their first drive of the GTI Edition 35, Car & Driver states, "It is fitted with the old EA113 engine, which also is used in the Golf R and can handle the extra power and torque better than the newer EA888 in its current state of evolution." In their first drive of the Golf R, they say...

Please post pictures of your stock GTI interiors, especially of the dash, center console and back seats. Thanks!

A couple of months ago I posted this thread asking what vehicles people had before their GTI. There were a fair number of people coming out of entry-level luxury/premium cars like the 3-Series and A4. This leads me to an interesting "dilemma" I am trying to come to terms with, and I would love...

For those who have driven or owned both, how much worse is the lag on the Golf R vs the GTI? Thanks!

If you considered other vehicles besides the GTI, what were they and why did you pick the GTI in the end? Thanks!
