Test drove a 2017 manual GTI. Clutch engagement seemed extremely high. Normal?

Um. Yes?

There's a thread around here stating what prices people paid. Someone else can likely chime in but:

1- the clutch engagement is very shallow. Don't rest your foot on the clutch pedal! This was even noted in many reviews of the car.

2- there's a really simple mod called the "Clutch Delay Delete" which removed a valve in the clutch line designed to slow the clutch down. While the valve is supposed to give you smoother clutching, most people who are familiar with manual transmission cars find it to be very irritating instead.

With 1500 in add ons. I'll most likely buy it today then they have 3 and white looks the nicest. The other 2 are black and charcoal but all manual. They also have 2 golf Rs at 3k under invoice.

Are these cars stolen? Lol.

So these are great deals. Is there another GTI on the lot that you can feel the clutch on? It's probably normal, but everyone's feeling of what's "high" depends on the person and what cars they are used to.

Yes! I'm try the others. After having my jettas dsg fail on me I'm just gonna get the manual.

I think it's just because they move so many cars.

I live next to BFI so will be having the jb4 installed there, if they do free installs. If not I'll do it my self.
