Bought my 2011 GTI about 3 years ago with 40k miles.. now at 90k
Any young person looking to buy a car, I would not suggest going with the GTI.
You will be dealing with a lot of oil leaks, overheating issues, vacuum leaks
.. on a consistent basis.
Everything in the interior is made of CHEAP PLASTIC.. falls apart if you look at it funny... car was not made to last whatsoever. Money Pit.
Trunk latch busted and now I can't open the trunk,
Clutch is shot..
Rear main seal leaking... $440 fix
Fun car to drive.. looks good from the outside,
But the horrors are hidden beneath.. just my 2 cents.. I owned an mk4 for 4 years, big V Dub fan.. but they really missed the ball on this one. Moving on to a Nissan or Toyota 100%
