So I like it enough to talk numbers. It's definitely not as punchy as my GTI, but fuck. It's comparing a Vortex GTI to a stock GLI lol. I think with a JB4, the power would fit my driving style. Far better than the GTI does. While I do have the mindset that more power is better than less power, even if you don't need it, that extra power isn't worth the tradeoffs to me.
It's definitely a far more comfortable ride than my GTI, and has all the nicer features I'd want. The one thing that would drive me absolutely insane, which happened with the GTI at first too, is not seeing what gear it's in while in D/S
The first box was checked. If we can now agree on a delta of ~$11k - $12k between the sale price and my trade in....
