Buying a new VW Golf (GTI) tomorrow

I have a sunroof and never use it, I don't get the appeal.

The only thing I use my sunroof for is when I want to set something down and don't want to put it on the paint I put it on my sunroof.

I wonder if I'll use it, but I've had a car with a sunroof before and I miss it. The light + having air circulation without it being as disruptive as opening the side window I guess is the appeal. If you never drive with windows open you probably wouldn't use a sunroof either. I like the feeling.

>>16089223
get a civic for 3k or a car actually worth financing.

>>16089400
Test drove them, you should test drive a Golf, it's so much nicer to drive. I'm aware in terms of resale and reliability Honda is ahead but I'm just going for enjoyable to drive and accepting somewhat higher repairs.

>>16089546
I mean a civic for 3k. not a shitty new one. Why would you buy an econobox new? get a volt for 15k or a used luxury car.

>>16089646
Because some people want new cars.

>GTI is so fast it's like drugs
You either need to get out of Yurop and drive some fast cars, or get out of Yurop and do some real drugs.

>New

No want you want is nineties

Neither.

Fiesta ST, its way more fun to drive than the GTI and cheap like the Golf

>>16089223
I bought a mk VI golf once, and i pined for the GTI the whole time so i replaced it with a Mk VI GTI. Don't even waste your time on the Golf. I think you should spring for the performance pack GTI (GTI Sport), or you will regret not doing it.

>>16089223
get the golf r or don't buy a volkswagen product at all.

gti's are for vaping, snapback wearing faggots, and golfs are for the local, rich dorm whore.

please don't fall for the volkswagen meme. the plaid seats literally give your eyes & ass cancer, and the fwd is rage inducing.

>>16089925
I think this is what would end up happening with me, thanks.
>>16089938
I laughed, I wish I had more fun money then I would. I've already fallen for the VW meme, it's too late for me :^)

>>16089223
Mk7 GTI owner here. I love mine. Very fun, very practical. Though I'm 36. If you're in your 20's or younger, a focus ST or fiesta ST might be better suited. Cheaper and more appealing to the younger population in my opinion.

I pocked up a new gti one last week, have already done 900km. Great car, a bit tame. if you really want to get a great driving experience, youll have to slap some sportier springs on it. Otherwise, make sure you get the leather seats for the gti. the plaid looks horrific

>>16089223
Post tits

>>16090116
ECU flash will take care of the tame part

>>16089915
for fun I agree esp since it's a cheaper option, but the GTI probably beats both ST in terms of comfort

>>16089223
it's decent, I've driven the 2015 GTI a decent amount and own a 2016 GLI. I'd rather have a GTI than a regular Golf, 170HP is just not enough.

>>16089223
Don't buy, lease. The second the warranty is up all hell will break loose. These new cars are designed to break. If you're extremely adamant get the gti. Expect coolant leaks and leaky headlights. Also make sure to check the oil, vw is keen on shipping cars a quart low. Whether it's stick or DSG they're both solid.

>>16090622
At 2000 miles my GTI decided it didn't need any coolant and leaked it all over the road. Apparently a recalled ended up fixing it but I'm still sketched out by a few things with my GTI. Love the car but god damn does shit keep happening.

>>16089938
>golf r
>imbliging it's not fwd anyways
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

>>16090622

This or buy one that has very low mileage already
>save initial depreciation hit
>still has warranty

or just get the Mk VI. I had one the VI and VII aren't that much different m8

>>16089938
golf r isn't worth the asking price, it costs as much as an audi s3 basically and the audi should be nicer

>>16090721
Only problem is the s3 is only auto. But I agree the golf r is outrageous money for what you get.

>>16089223
Get the GTI and make sure it has the performance pack (230BHP, better brakes and a great diff)

>>16089903
>0-62 in 6.4 secs is not fast
>150 mph is not fast

How's that bus ride anon?

>>16089903
A golf gti will beat any american muscle car on narrow winding european streets

american cars are built to travel in straight lines
