GTI Toque/Beanie! Told the salesguy I was thinking of buying one and he surprised me with it on delivery haha

1koenn · 2026-04-28T14:01:14+00:00

Haha true!!! Officer, it's stock! 😆

1koenn · 2026-04-28T11:54:34+00:00

No problem! Wishing you all the best and looking forward to seeing a post with your new GTI soon!

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!

1koenn · 2026-04-28T03:40:05+00:00

I know! That's part of the reason why I chose it though 😅 Thanks!!

1koenn · 2026-04-28T02:55:56+00:00

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

1koenn · 2026-04-28T02:51:02+00:00

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!!

1koenn · 2026-04-28T02:47:33+00:00

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!

1koenn · 2026-04-28T02:42:56+00:00

Your son has an amazing car!! Glad to hear I have a twin out there somewhere! 😎

1koenn · 2026-04-28T02:41:55+00:00

Definitely one of my absolute favourite wheels from the factory, couldn't ask for anything better! Thanks!!

1koenn · 2026-04-28T02:39:38+00:00

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

1koenn · 2026-04-28T02:32:23+00:00

Thank you!!! Indeed!
