MK7.5 GTI

[reyoasian]

Looking at a 2018 MK7.5 GTI base (non Autobahn) and have some questions

- does the base get the front LSD?
- does the base get the standard suspension (non-DCC)?
- what size 17" tires are on the base and are they summers or performance? (specific model would be great too)

Thanks

I just picked my 2018 Base GTI up last Friday, as far as I know it's got the LSD.

For tires, it came with Hankook Kinergy GT (225/45/17) on it.

In Canada the base vs Autobahn are the same mechanically. Only differences are the luxuries like headlights, leather, etc...

They all have the electronic LSD. None have the DCC suspension.

My own tires (18") were the Hankook Noble Ventus (or something) they were all seasons.

Thanks - wow neither have DCC, that changes things up for me.
I specifically want fixed suspension....now the Autobahn is under consideration (but I do prefer the 17" on the base that I can use for winter)

Budget for new tires, as the stock Kinergy's are junk. Belong on a corolla.

No plans to keep them.
Stock 17s would be used for winter only.
