How often has a random stranger complimented you or asked you about your GTI?
At least twice for me in a couple months of ownership:
1) The other day at a light the dude in the car next to me gestured to me, so I rolled down the window and he asked if my wheels (Serrons on the 2012 Autobahn) were aftermarket or came with it. I told em they came with the new top model --- said they looked great and much better than the "standard" GTI wheels thought he liked those too.
2) Couple months ago, the hotel valet at a four star hotel asked me how I liked the GTI as a daily driver when he picked it up for me. Said he was always impressed when he got to drive them and was considering getting one himself (this in a place full of AMG Mercedes and Lexuses... Lexi.... whatever....)
Anyone else experience this? No one ever asked about my Civic or Forester.
