What happened to waiting for the warranty to expire?
Bro I’m thinking about it LOL
Here’s my dilemma. Due to my disabilities I couldn’t drive manual anymore. I HAD to trade in my 2018 wrx. There was no way around it. My wife and kids weren’t having it. I went from falling 2-3 times a week to double that.
I didn’t want a sporty caffeinated 4 banger with an auto. I didn’t have high hopes for the dsg either if I can be honest. But I went to the dealer and test drove a dsg gti. 2020 autobahn
It was absolutely amazing! I loved it. In sport it shifts at the right rpm’s in my daily drive too. Mimicking how I drove my manuals.
I can’t work. I’m a disabled veteran. The combination of my disabilities ensures I would never be hired. As a result I only drive 300-500 miles a month. As you can imagine, I feel this sense of “keeping the warranty “ in my bones bro.
With my wrx, the rev hang and some little issues here and there with the stock tune forced my hand. In 3 weeks it was custom tuned, intake, axle back, electronic boost controller. And i dumped the new shitty Dunlop’s for pilot sport 4’s. It was an absolute beast in the corners. And on e30 she was a fire breathing dragon.
The gti, brand new with just 20 miles and on the second day got a muffler delete. I hated the lack of sound. On the 4th day the injen evolution intake was installed. Not enough wooshy sounds but at least I could hear it at wide open throttle.
And that’s it. The gti’s stock tune is very good. No odd behavior. No rev hang. No weird issues. It just feels a bit underpowered considering it’s weight.
The tires are complete garbage. But they’re getting addressed after winter for sure.
I don’t know if i should/want to piss away my ability to get repairs covered under warranty. I also don’t know how adversarial things can get with vw dealerships. This is my first vw
Things that flew in Subaru dealerships may not fly at a vw dealership and I’m not in a position to assume.
But if you have any recommendations please, I’m all ears
