Greetings,
Just your typical CW GTI. This was my first none american car purchase. I looked at Focus ST and MS3. I was determined to get a hatchback, as I love how much use you can get out of them. I couldn't get over the interior/exterior of the MS3, despite more power/fun factor. FoST, interior/exterior wasn't grabbing my attention, like the MS3. I could of lived with the FoST, but the DSG won me over. I tend to drive mostly city, so the DSG was more in my favor.
In our garage, we have a 2013 VW Jetta GLI - Tornado Red and 2013 VW GTI Drivers Edition - Candy White. After getting my GTI, my wife loved it. To the point where she hinted on trading in her 2012 Jeep Liberty Jet Edition. After looking for GTI's in our price range and test driving cars at the dealer. She ended up picking the GLI. So on the same month, we had brand new cars and got rid of our Jeeps.
The GLI for the most part is going to remain stock, only has 35% tint (legal limit). It will be getting a dedicated winter tire setup, maybe slight drop in the future.
