OEM s3 rims and tires

My friend offered to buy my car from me (wasn't even for sale). So I took the opportunity.

Yes was GTI Autobahn and now WRX Limited. I had a 2012 WRX hatch before the GTI. I do miss the GTI...a lot.

I wouldn't say "more"...I was up for a change since the opportunity was there. I was a little worried about VW resale value as well at the time.

GTI for sure. The stage 1 on the WRX really just fixes the factory tune and doesn't add much power. The boost levels are stock and more linear. So no added boost at all for a stage 1 on the WRX.

Stage 2 WRX vs stage 1 GTI would be a better comparison.

However, the GTI definitely had traction and wheel hop issues at stage 1. Both issues I won't have with the WRX when it gets to stage 2 which is really just adding a J-pipe (downpipe).

I'm not power hungry, but I like having a car that goes when I need to pass someone.

I'm pretty sure the GTI was also lighter.
