How Old Are MK7 GTI Owners

[Keefe]

I'm 17, turning 18 in a month and I just purchased a 2017 GTI. Love the car and planning to keep it for many years. When I am done with it I plan on upgrading to a Golf R depending on what the R is like in 5+ years (most likely at the end of my 7 year warranty). I'm not the typical teen driver, I baby my cars and wash and detail them once a week if weather and time permits.

Damn. When I was 17 I bought a 1990 Ford Probe for $400.

Been itching for a GTI ever since I turned 18, at 32 I finally scratched it with the Mk7 Sport. I'm in for life.

How many over 70, including me?

The oldest I have read is 78.
No one over 80 ever came forward.

77 years and counting. Thinking of my next toy car but nothing has really grabbed my interest yet. No issues with the Mk7, just another memory for my coming nursery home days.

Kinda curious on what your non beater commuter car is

Non beater is a manual Cayman S, but it's only a nice day/low traffic commuter (hence the DSG for the GTI).

I was 19 when I got my first GTI (November 2010). It was a white mk6 GTI. I had the car for 6 years. I was 23 when I bought my mk7 GTI (April 2015) and just turned 26 today

Congrats! I live about 30 minutes from Orangeville, where'd you buy your car?

32, just bought my first GTI almost 2 months ago. Had a B5 A4 prior for 8 years, an MK3 Jetta before that.

36 and i'm in the same boat. Commuter car, running to the rentals, etc. 17 Sport DSG. Its a shockingly good car for the $$. We'll see how it does racking up 30k miles a year. Bought it Aug 19th and up to 2500 miles already.
