This is my GTi+ company car and now completed mini project. It's an absolute pleasure to drive... To me, perfectly modified for a balance of sportiness, comfort and economy. Although the exhaust is definitely not to everyone's taste... Or my neighbours at 5am on a Monday morning
I drive loads of miles every day in it all over the country, always get about 47-54mpg (390 to 440 ish miles per tank) and it always puts a huge smile on my face, even just cruising at 70mph.
The only issues I've really had in the 70,000+ miles I've driven are the Revo software not liking my missing GPF (now fixed) and the blower fan resistor failing which I just received a replacement item - Non genuine - Topran at a cost of 9 euro. Pretty easy to swap out so I'll do it at the weekend. No other issues to report.
I originally fitted eibach lowering springs which were horrendously crashy. Now on KW Variant 2. something like 17 of 20 notches towards the hardest and its amazing on any surface.
It's the best all round car I've ever owned and I plan to keep it a very long time!
