This is Mrs. Aonarch's daily driver.
It all started when her 2016 Camaro 2SS went in for service at our local Chevy dealer, and came back like this;
Our budget was $40,000 total for a new car. We looked at everything, and were pretty set on a Volvo V60CC. But those were low 40s new (We were willing to go up), and low 30s gently used. The Volvo looks better and has more brand prestige, but the VW drove better and was cheaper. Sold. Plus being able to easily fix our gripes, like the low power figures, is a huge plus.
I've been driving VWs for 15+ years, and I actually tried not buying one, but the All Track is by far the king of its niche segment.
So since this is replacing a 450 hp Camaro, she wanted it to be fast and fun to drive. Selling her on a wagon took some work, especially one with only 179 hp.
That said, having warranty issues might be part of the deal, so I'm going to try sticking as OEM+ as possible.
Day one we ordered the Unitronic IS20 tune with the UniConnect+ cable, ECS intake, Golf R intercooler, 42DD downpipe, IS20, Golf R sway bar, Porsche Boxster brake calipers, Apikol brake carrier brackets, Stop Tech pads, ECS turbo muffler pipe, and a stainless steel rear bumper protector.
Next mods will be light weight wheels, and Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
It turns out the All track has a 21.7 mm sway bar, so I ordered a H&R 27 mm bar instead.
Pictures to come.
At the dealer.
So far:
