Upgraded from my 2017 GTI sport and boy am I glad I did, lots of people told me to just chip the GTI and be happy, but snow trips, and more power and a nicer leather interior were my goals, the CPO warranty is a major plus too, bought it for 35K with 10K miles, 0% 60 months (covid Deal) , and its a CPO, so my warranty is good until 84K or 7 years. thats awesome!, Ill post this in the wheels tire thread, but thought id throw it out here to get some opinions on the tire size I went with. ,, the car came with the Englishtowns, so I just went all in and put on a set of 19" X 8.5 Neuspeed RS102's with 245/35 ZR19"
I was back and forth on going with the 18's or 19's, I'm glad I chose the 19'"s. I was worried because the stock conti's were harsh to me. But the difference from 235 to 245 definitely adds a bit of cushion and the car noticeable smoother and plusher over the bumps now.
Im a sucker for the Oryx white and black gloss look, I was up in the air on that and went back and forth from gunmetal, to bronze, to the hyper black, Neuspeed had only one model in gloss black the 102's, so i nabbem em, but to me my car is perfect now. Really happy with how it came out.
My questions:
One question I have is the auto shut off feature of the car when you stop, can this be turned off? In hot so cal the AC is interrupted when the car shuts off at red lights or the AC is noticeably less when it does that, kinda annoying. what do others do in hot climates?
Also a question on the DCC, comfort vs Race, what is actually the difference, tighter steering and rpm's, but what else.
Sometimes when steering on the highway the car wants to pull to one side when I am changing lanes, , could this be a flaw on the electric steering, sometimes it seems downright dangerous? I am not in ACC when it does this bytw.
cheers and happy to be a Golf R owner,
PS> ski trips are in my agenda with this car, and it is so much more fun than the GTI.
