I did not buy a mk7 golf but I have the same engine. I really love the golfmk7 forum so I hope you will accept my build thread being here. I've been a long time member on golfmk6 under the same username and recently decided to move onto the mqb platform. I was looking around for new or CPO vehicles with less than 10k miles that cost less than $25,000 with fees included. I wanted a 2.0T car but could not find one within my desired price range and mileage.
I ended up purchasing a 2016 CPO 1.8T A3 sedan in Florett Silver for $25,070 OTD with 5,000 miles on the odometer. The car also came with a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty and bumper to bumper coverage.
This 1.8T build will be focused on finding a balance between performance, comfort, and economy.
