Thanks. I have a GTI already, was just looking for the hard to find 2 door R with a manual. I will probably wait for 2017 to see what's what.
Throw on some charge & discharge pipes + intake and that'll help MPG when you're not on the throttle. My MPG went from 16 to 19 when doing that... and yes, I drive it hard.Coming from a GTI, I know the .:R sucks down the gas more, but she is a lot more fun to drive, better upgrade minus I miss DSG and the MPG

Your spot on though. I had a VW mechanic ask me how hard I drive it and let's just say he liked my response.
In the past 2 weeks, I have put just under 2K miles on it with 90% being highway and was able to get 29.5 MPG at an average highway speed of 75MPH.
But in real driving with my 50/50 city I get closer to 24MPG. I drive fairly aggressive on the throttle.
14? How the heck did you manage that?
Beats me. But I remember I let my cousin borrowed it. That's what I calculated by the gas receipt. :iono:
If I thought the pulley would change the driving experience, I might pursue it. Really think someone botched the clutch install but I haven't driven many SMF cars.
Just looked at the mk7 R on fuelly, they are getting 17-28 mpg with the average at 23.
