picking my car up from the dealership. Had my coolant shutoff valve replaced, because I wasn't getting cabin heat. They replaced my shifter trim under warranty. I didn't have the heart to tell them that was a fools errand since i will replace the shifter trim for a manual one anyway.

31k. S model. 6-speed. Moonstone gray. Should I do it? It has a nice looking FMACC peeking out from behind that grille

Maybe if it wasn't the peasant S trim.

S Trim is best trim

Serious question, have you ever gotten beat up for running your mouth and being a smartass to literally everyone? Or is this just your keyboard warrior online persona?

Turbo. Blue.
I can't support purchases of mk8s. Especially a manual. VW's done us a huge disservice constantly putting in these shitty clutches generation after generation. I hate it. I've dealt with it twice already. There's no way I could ever do it again.

I'm still not over that Mishimoto IC intercooler deal for some reason.

@riceburner, want to buy my CSK stock location intercooler? It's definitely not Zhong Zhong, it's ebay 🤣

I'd cut you a deal, $250 shipped out, more than half off the new price. Less than 1k miles on it! Installation is very easy, or if you don't want to do it yourself, I'm sure Jay could put you in the service position and get it done for you.

Just don't swap turbos and accidentally make it slower

Wow so actually looking into it a hair, the Jetta GLI is actually better than the GTI in almost every way! The only trim available is the autobahn - meaning:
DCC,
leather,
e-diff,
and basically the MIB2 out of the 7.5 golf R.
HID headlights,
full suit android auto
wireless phone charging!
digital dash,

i mean its better than the S class GTI in every way, and EVEN beats its price?

Not to mention... It looks BETTER than the GTI. Never thought i would say that.

EDIT: Anyway not getting a new car i don't have $40k after taxes and bullshit lol

I'm actually a fan of the GLI too. I prefer a hatchback generally speaking, but the standard equipment for the price is hard to beat.

They're cool cars and you can decorate the rear window with your sorority stickers

MSRP on a GLI is 1.5k higher then a GTI S
