Ko4 is the better choice imho, for the GTI - mostly on value, and because its still a FWD car.
Yes, It just sucks man haha. Everything on my car is currently fixed under warranty except the bucking issues ive been getting from 1-2nd gear while driving around town.
Officially VW cant reproduce it and doesnt know what can cause bucking.
Unofficially, the mechanic told me its the clutch packs but they dont want to swap them until it pretty much breaks.
I hope this relocation to a snowy base is literally just a rumor as I only have about 2 years left in the military before I try to give school a go.
I love this GTI inside and out even with all the issues ive experienced and for the first time since ive owned it i can do the mods ive always wanted.
Im gonna go test drive a few vehicles and make a decision this weekend will let yall know.
