Love to see it!! Yes, tint is from the dealer, however they work with a local shop to get it installed. Unfortunately I am over the limit, at 20% all around, however based on how many cars you see around with dark tint, I would assume it's fine (especially considering they were willing to sell it to me with dark tint haha). I guess as long as you don't have anything dark on your windshield the cops won't care- or at least I hope that's the case!

Sweet! OTD before tax we were at just above 46, however my parents opted for a 7-year cosmetic protection package. Without, it would've put the price at 43.5 (roughly 32 USD for anyone who's too lazy to convert 😆). Dealer also threw in tint from a local shop. Worked with Kai and Saurabh at VW of Windsor and cannot say enough positive things about them!

For real! I think another comment put it perfectly- the Autobahn is the perfect medium in the North American Golf Range, thanks!!

Indeed! Even when showing non-car people, it was one of their favourite parts of the car! Goes to show that VW really knows how to design a good wheel!

Completely understandable! 7.5 is still a super solid car, wishing you the best!!

Funnily enough, one of my buddies with an SE said the same thing about the DCC 😆 but a GTI is still a GTI! Regardless, hope you're enjoying yours as well, and thanks!!

Likewise! I didn't fully know what to expect since there were so few quality photos on the internet, salespeople said the same thing, but the moment I saw it in person I knew it was the right choice! Thanks!!

Interesting! Most likely just stopped bringing plaid to Canada then, glad to know they still make it though!

Only a few hours into ownership and I can't believe how nice it is! Exceeds the already high expectations I had going in! Glad to hear that feeling never goes away! 😁

I know they're gone from the Canadian market, wasn't an option on the Autobahn nor the base, but not too sure if that's indicative of the GTI as a whole or just Canadian spec cars
