    VW Arteon in local dealership

    This is a demonstrator model, and the dealership blacked out all the chrome, lowered the springs. I looked at it today, and it has a very powerful presence.

    Why is the Golf Gti/R called an econobox?

    Econobox - this word has often cropped up in posts when referring to the Golf Gti. After encountering this again in another mildly charged post the other day, I stopped to think that I don't quite see it like this. My interpretation of an econobox is super cheap, small, small motor, very few...

    Recent car you came close to pulling the trigger

    When I had my MK7 GTi I flirted with the idea of getting a PP GTi, a little research led me to this Oettinger in the pics below. The dealership was quite far from me, but the sales guy was very kind and drove through with the car to my office. Before actually driving the car, I was pretty...

    Driven: Oettinger GTI | Clubsport | Golf R

    I really like my GTI, but from time to time get a tad annoyed with the wheel hop/spin, and feel a little more power would be handy. I'm not really one for mods, but yesterday decided to try out a GTI with a stage 1 Oettinger conversion, putting out 206kw and 425nm. I've already driven a...

    Drove a Clubsport today - impressions

    After jumping straight out of my Gti, and into the Clubsport, then spending 20 minutes on a few twisties and straights:- The power response is very crisp, and seems to hold the revs at the top for longer than my Gti, not to mention the acceleration is far more brutal. The sound of the DSG...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    First off, your car looks superb, I really enjoyed reading through the thread on Vortex. What struck me more though, was your courage, determination and strength displayed to overcome a tragic setback. Stay strong and keep giving all.

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Took my car for a few laps on a track for the first time ever today. To say it was exhilarating, would be an understatement. I had a driving instructor with me, and his advice made for a super experience. The GTI is such a capable car. Also drove 2.5V6 Reynards for around 18 laps too, was...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    Those look absolutely bloody fantastic. My preference is to stay stock, but if I ever deviated from this, these would be a humungous consideration. Please post more pics

    4 Months into ownership, I still look forward to driving it

    The longer I have owned the car, the seemingly better it becomes. I hope your car brings smiles to your faces, like it does mine. Pointless thread, but this forum has been a little "tense" of late, and I browse here with the hope of learning something new, reading about experiences, witnessing...

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    That's one of the nicest R's I have seen. Amazing colour & those wheels give a nice aggressive stance.

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    I love stats/graphs/display etc, therefore really like your display... As for what I did with my GTI yesterday, I did a 200 mile run, that included rain, fog and sunshine. Loved every second of it.
