Purchased 4/2/16 from VW in west chi, illinois @ 24k and 8187 miles. CPO Car, bone stock and mint* condition minus 1 or 2 little scuffs.



Drove it 400 miles right off the lot to take grandma from wisconsin to indiana[emoji38]
Awesome little car! Nicest car i've driven, coming from a built, 380WHP Supercharged Cobalt SS. Was such a fun car but was tired of the build quality and it was starting to have issues. So jumped ship

Drove the GTI for the weekend, then got took it GRD in west chicago on MONDAY to have the APR 93 octane Low output stage 1 tune flashed.
Felt great, enough power to spin 2nd if needed but good enough to (hopefully) keep the clutch safe should I never launch it.
Weathertech front floor mats that friday, tinted windows that saturday.
Deep wash/clay/compound/seal/wax that monday.

GFB Diverter Valve + installed last week, still not BOV noise or intake noise haha. Intake will be needed....
Carbon fiber license plate frames
Then installed my Ed replica GTI headlights with Morimoto HID kit yesterday!
