Most annoying thing about your GTI

[Technomaster]

Heh. Funny I have a few of these peeves.

My top 3:
Wind buffeting is terrible. But my son always wants cold air - so we always need at least one other window open.

Getting in and out of the drivers seat/No memory seats. Maybe I got pampered by my Infiniti g37x that slid the seat and steering wheel away when I opened the door, but I find myself fiddling to get back to my comfort zone.

Low gear choppiness. Driving around a parking lot isn't the most pleasant experience with dsg. Curious if the gear ratios were tweaked/improved in 2016 model.

i can't stand that choppiness in first gear, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has the same problem. ill leave my parking spot, give it a little bit of gas and 20-40 ft later that car jerks forward, well hopefully thats the same thing you're describing

What? There's no such thing as a car with turning signals anything but yellow... If there is, it's aftermarket, and illegal.

Edit: wait, you mean the cornering lights?

Haha, I realized my mistake once I read you reply. My bad.

You're right, the cornering lights. Though I really like the feature, it bugs me that it's not the same colour temp as the headlights.

I hate the horrible wind buffeting when the window is open. It's painful to my eardrums!
I've had some cars do this bad, but this one is the worse by far.

Ahhhh....this!!!


Sometimes, I wish to hear my exhaust (stock cb, CTS dp) but don't want the wind in my face, so I roll the rear windows down. OMFG, my ears!!

 

[carbongmk7]

they should make the hatch window roll down
bet that would solve/start a bunch of issues

This has happened in many of my past cars. Generally, opening an opposite side window, a rear window, the sunroof, or in my truck slide down the back window a certain amount will generally prevent the buffeting. It is annoying though, my son likes to open his window, the wife wants no windows open (of course) and the mere idea of cracking open more windows to relieve the buffeting of my son's one open window usually causes my wife to argue. Happens in our GTI, 9-2x and our Titan. It is not specific to the GTI.
Doesn't happen in my Prelude though, probably because it is a 2 door.

BTW, any smartphone issues people are having isn't necessarily a fault of the MIB system. Android is buggy, especially bloated carrier Androids. All cars have random smartphone issues these days.

According to some forums I've read, users with substantial issues with AA on MIB-II can plug into Kia's AA system with no issues at all.

Pretty sure this is my own fault since I installed the sway bars, but I get some horrible sounding creaking whenever my car goes over a bump/hump/whatever unevenly. Other than that, I love my car.

for a car 30k still can't get a auto-dimming rearview mirror. Constantly getting blinded by annoying SUV/Pickup

Get 5% tints brother way better then auto dimming mirrors

What is soundaktor??

The autobahn PP 2016 seats are not for big boys they are hella tight when I sit in them I can't wear a jacket and drive comfortably it's impossible

 

[shimwrecker]

The heated seats take forever to get warm. It makes it impossible to be comfortable on cold leather seats.

I found out recently that if you roll down just the right-rear passenger window a few inches, it creates some kind of weird resonating sound that sounds like its coming from your head. It feels like your ears are about to pop like you get during elevation change.

Happens in every sedan. Talking from experience I've owned 7 of them lol

The wind buffeting really sucks on the GTI 2 door no sunroof model. That's really my only pet peeve. Oh and the 4x4 stock stance. ;-)
