GentlemanofLeisure posted:VW's MIB 2 (NOT the MIB 1) is incredibly not rear end and Apple CarPlay owns. It also has Android Auto but I don't have that kind of phone. I find the seats very comfortable and nicely bolstered, and they actually hold their own against the M Sport Seats in the Z4M I had. I'm a big guy and they don't squeeze me too much either. Yup, I've driven the GTI in standard and DSG and thought the interior was nice if not understated. I also was not wild about the numb shifter. Concerns about longevity and value are tough because domestic cars very rarely hold value, but I feel the GTI doesn't either. I don't know what the maintenance is like on either, though anecdotal evidence says VW's tend to run pretty expensive to maintain. In the end everyone is right, I have to go sit in them with the wife and baby to make sure everyone fits. I also drove a Mazda 3 hatch and while it's not "Hot" is very much a warmish hatch that is in the running too.

There's a dealership in Virginia offering GTI Sport for 22k on autotrader. What's a good VIN decoder to confirm they aren't full of poo poo?

fknlo posted:Link? Because I would actually be all over that. I assume it's one of those deals that requires a poo poo ton of incentives that no one is actually eligible for. I'm not in a position to buy due to being clear on the other side of the country. After I sell my truck over here though it's game on. Have at it, if legit it is a screaming deal

blk posted:How many of you would own a GTI past the end of warranty? That's one of my big concerns. I'm trying to replace a motorcycle and truck with a hatch or wagon that is reasonably family friendly. I'm used to Japanese cars that don't depreciate and don't cost much to maintain. I'm about as far from a mechanic as you can get but I haven't paid anyone to work on my Tacoma yet. The GTI seems to do absolutely everything that I want besides carry the dog(70 pound lab) and baby at the same time which is a scenario that has yet to come up. I really wish Subaru would bring back the legacy wagon and make a 3.6R spec B.

I didn't see them listed anymore at 22 or the DSG at 23. Let us know if you keep pursuing it, I'd love to see one actually sold for that

fknlo posted:Buying a '17 GTI sport right now What did you get it for? I know you've been hunting for a good deal. I finally had to quit on my hot hatch dreams because I couldn't get a dog and baby in them comfortably/safely at the same time

I've got a 70lb lab that doesn't like being in tight spaces, the golf hatch just didn't leave him enough space. He's also too rambunctious to be left next to the infant so alas the GTI dream was killed for now.

I'm surprised they didn't total it. Lucky you for it being a lease!

fknlo posted:Got an estimate from one of their preferred shops for $3100 yesterday. I'm going to go with the other shop since that's where I would have had the car taken had I been in KC. I don't think they're going to like that. gently caress'em, they can take it up with their last lovely preferred shop that hacked your car back together

Never has someone dodged a bullet by leasing as much as you have. Thank God they didn't match Sheehy's price on that car

WescottF1 posted:Looking to replace my 2008 Civic Si in the Spring (can't see buying a new car only to subject it to a Midwestern Winter right away). I've always liked GTIs and am interested in the 2018 mid-cycle refresh that should be out this Fall. People are buying these for $5k under MSRP regularly. If they don't want to sell a car find a different dealership.

BraveUlysses posted:VW partner price is kinda poo poo IMO, its giving me 1620 off msrp, truecar does 1570 and i'm guessing costco isn't any better. Truecar puts a GTI Sport w/ DSG at 30235 and actual price at 26.5. I have a friend that bought that exact car last month for 26.5. That's the top of what you should be paying. So only 3700 on the hood e. In Seattle since I know you're local

red19fire posted:I didn't know Lexus made a hot hatch that's reasonably affordable (to me) and a hybrid? What is the CT200h like, and would I be insane to sell/trade my 2016 Honda Fit for a 2017 model? It's a tarted up prius that is not "hot" and is not up to regular Lexus quality fit and finish. Avoid.
