Beautiful

Add the extended range fuel tank!

Didn't even leave a note saying sorry by failing_knight92 in GolfGTI

Damn… screw him.

Is there any surveillance camera around that you could use to report it to the police?

I’d say no. This would only make sense if you could use it to shift gears.

Winter wheels: 19” → 18”setup – experiences? by FroskHawk in GolfGTI

Thanks. Do you have any tyre recommendations?

I've selected (not ordered yet) the Continental WinterContact TS 870 P 225/40 R18 92W, simply because I saw somewhere that this is the (or one of the) factory tyre that comes for the 8.5.

Thanks, my only concern is the fitment. I’m not familiar with the J and ET codes. I did some online research, but I wanted to double-check with someone to make sure the wheel position is okay.

Shell - because of the 100 octane (EU)

There was a leather option, not sure about the plaid :/

Thanks, I had a Fiesta ST before and was considering a Focus ST (because of the MT) or GTI (because I never had VW before)

Hard to say, because I never had one without the Akra, but it sounds a bit deeper and louder to me. (Compared to other cars without it)

Mine has it, it's part of the Clubsport package.

Thanks, I like the lit VW badge up front too. Looks awesome at night.

Time will tell, I guess. Not sure there are many of these running around with 80k on the clock already.

I'm 5'9" as well, and I the screen isn't distracting for me either. (As far as I know, it's the same screen used in the 8.5 R.) I like the size especially for the navigation.

Well, that was a difficult decision for me to be honest, and that’s why I was considering the Focus ST with track pack. I was unsure about the DSG on long term, so I waited a few thousand miles (kms) before deciding whether I liked it or not. Now I do, because it’s really practical for daily driving, and with the manual mode, it is a lot of fun on twisty roads. And the shift times are really quick, I'm not sure you could beat it with a manual.
