IDK about your area but in Seattle small cars are very popular and once inside, the GTI is pretty luxurious. All in all, a pretty conservative ride that I've never heard compared to a high school kid hatchback.

If I didn't have the Autobahn seats, I think that would be the opposite, but yes, I agree, most compliment the interior and the quality of the seats. If I had the plaids, that wouldnt be the case.

Out in Chi, its all SUV's or luxo cars, sports cars, subies, vw too!, etc. But the GTI , even in 4 door form, is definitely a "smaller" car.

While your car is modded "cleanly", its still comes off a lot more... "different" than you may think, with regard to the business client's concern, imho. The drop, the rims, the tint, etc. I'm just saying! :)

Agreed to an extent. Its a vast departure from my last car that rode on coils, aftermarket seats, exhaust, header. The GTI is smooth and quiet.

I can't quit over night man, modding is addictive! :eek:

Oh no, I know the feeling brotha! My STI scared some of my workers/bosses, etc, so I hear ya. The GTI is much smoother in comparison. :thumbsup:

I'll be buying a Golf R 100%, and I will give the TDI to my wife when I do. But that'll be in 2 yrs from now.

I'm definitely going to be test driving the R and seeing the difference, which may be a selling point.

I really like the looks of the tailpipes on the R. Will just have to figure out how to justify the price (And loss on the GTI!).

That new EVO body style sux big huge balls! The stylist was F-ing drunk.
The previous body was KILLER without the Kid Racer rear wing.
A friend had a Vishnu EVO with every mod and it was one bad ass car. The suspension was way too stiff as daily driver... but it would kill any car around here.

I'll be headed to the K04 Massive HP side of the fence. The Big Bucks are saved up... and BTW I was ready to pay cash for the "DSG" Golf R!

Most likelly not.

If I get bored with my GTI and decide to go for a more expensive car, it will most likely be a bimmer.
