Just got the word that my car will be ready tomorrow afternoon 
but i was also informed that they could not tint that little triangular window beside the sideview mirrors because its not enough space for your hands to go in and reach.... anyone else who has received their mk7 and has had their windows tinted ran into the same issue??? Kinda a bummer

Red tint in the lights plus no tint on that window? Worst car ever.

So today, I tested MK7's potential. Man oh Man, I must admit that the sport suspension handles well, the car sticks to the road, the TURBO kicks in immediately insanely responsive (unsure what stock psi is).
The interior is far superior and the fender music system is incredible. Probably, the best music system I have heard in ages.
This is exactly what I wanted. DSG all the way.

APR posted on Facebook today that stage 2 with intake, downpipe, and exhaust is officially at appx 340hp and 360ft/lbs......these are official numbers on the Euro Skoda Octavia VRS, that car has the exact engine that's in the NA gti, minus the multi-port injection, which has no effect on power output.
Go find the post on their Facebook page and read through the comments and especially APR's replies to them. Lots of exciting news on the true potential of these new gen 3 EA888's....
These cars are turning out to have serious beast potential. Holy crap I can't wait for the R!!!
Somebody post that pic properly for me please. Stoopid ipad.

While the new gen 3 EA888 series motors are easily tunable, have we heard anything about the decontented version for the US.
Last I heard, tuning for the NA motors are closer to current Second gen motors due to no valvelift and multiport injection. Lots of potential though.
I'm going to have to check into that.

I went for test drive last week and the guys at VW Waterloo told me the same thing about the triangle window.

Ditto, my dealer let me know that if I wanted to get the tinting done that this wouldn't be done as well.

My parents' 01 chevrolet cavalier started leaking oil recently, so they decided they wanted to trade it in for a new mk7 golf. Going with them to the dealer this weekend to check it out. There have been a lot of posts about the mk7 gti, anyone have any experience with the 1.8L with the auto?

Not sure about valve lift, it didn't come up in the Facebook comments, but according to the APR replies, the lack of multi-port injection has no affect on power output when tuning. They said they fully expect NA numbers to match, or at the very least, closely resemble their European equivalents.

Just picked it up from the dealership this afternoon. Can't even tell that the little triangle isn't tinted from the outside; so im just gonna leave it. The car looks and drives great! I know I kinda nagged about the interior in one of my other posts, but after being behind the wheel for couple hours I have fallen in love with it especially at night. I'm really diggin the white gauges, illuminated lights and the red glowing accent strips on the doors. Overall the interior and exterior imo are an evolution over the mk6.

Valvelift has a lot to do with it. There are certain things you could do with multiport injection, but the ratios all remain the same from a combustion standpoint.
Most of it is the VTC.
