I go thru vehicles like crazy so its not often that I keep one for over 10k so here are my thoughts.
Vehicle: 2017 GTI SE DSG
Mods: ST X coilovers @ 4k, ST RSB @ 8k, JB4 @ 8k, 18x8 alzors on stock hankooks if that matters.
Exterior: IMO best looking in its class. I feel 20 driving it (im 34 and its red), but I cant imagine driving something ridiculous like a current Civic
Interior: good I guess? I havent really driven anything comparable but the magazines say its nice? For what its worth, my wifes 14 Touarag has a nicer interior, as expected. Absolutely love the seats, people that are more "wide" might not.
Performance: Honestly stock got old after like a month. I dont drive like a jackass but it is just not quite where I wanted it. Coilovers and JB4 brought it to stock expectations IMO. Again I have not driven anything conparable so it could be gods chariot for all I know.
Infotainment: super important to the millennials Im sure. Overall OK but the android auto glitches once every few weeks and just goes black, wont change unless I park it for an hour or two. Ill listen to your favorite conservative talk radio in the meantime.
Economy: my commute is relatively easy, 50-60 with little stopping. I get mid 30s all day long, which is pretty damn good considering it has over 300hp.
Driving: I would say after the RSB it handles really well, but my gage gor comparaison is a slammed B5 S4 as I have had nothing but diesel trucks for the most part.
In summary, I bought new, got a good discount off MSRP, still raped on VW resale, im not sure how much better it is than say a used 3 series?
Maintenance: Ive changed the oil so far. Nothing really to say here yet.
