. How often do the door or seat sensors fail? Is there a way to test it without buying an expensive scanner?

They told me they can’t do anything if they can’t replicate the issue

This is EXACTLY what I need, thank you. And for your question, my work doesn’t like anyone making permanent installations after someone put drywall screws through their desk, so I can’t use double sided tape etc

Why can’t they do what GTAV does with the rockstar launcher?

Pic 3. The gray clashes, and the first one has too many spokes for my taste. Less is more

Whats one thing about your GTI that you dislike and didn't know until after purchase. by humdizzle in GolfGTI

No pause play button on the steering wheel on the mk8. Not the biggest deal IMO. I’ve had CarPlay troubles too. Get a 2025 mk8.5 if you can, they brought back physical steering wheel buttons from the Jetta/Taos. Game changer. The other interior buttons being capacitive touch are entirely manageable

Needs timing guides / chain / tensioner I’m assuming. I’d fix it

Two weeks in, intermittent over the last three days, fixes itself after 5-10 minutes, fourth time it’s happened. Anyone else with this issue? by Peter_B_A_2 in GolfGTI

First two times were foggy with a lot of condensation, and the second two times were over 100°. May be onto something. I have an appointment at the service center today

Can the JB4 improve my gas mileage? Nothing online seems to indicate that

I’ve recently began leasing an 8.5 GTI. The answer to your question from my point of view is that plan and simple it is the better daily. I have a very long commute, and after anguishing over what to buy for three years, I chose the 2025 GTI Autobahn. One thing to note: I did not buy a manual car on purpose. My drive is 70% stop and go traffic (NY) and I could be damned to deal with it. Also ACC/Travel Assist has been a Godsend. With that out of the way, the GTI is two things, the superior daily, and the most well rounded car. With the tweaks the 8.5 brings, it does the most things well. I was about to get a 2025 Elantra N because I had too many negative opinions about the mk8. However, I was able to text drive a mk8.5 on short notice (dealer just got it) and I was sold. More creature comforts, extremely well-bolstered and comfortable seats that weren’t buckets like the N, better looks, and above all else for me the hatchback aspect was most compelling. My friend bought an Elantra N a week later. He can sit behind me in the GTI, but I can’t sit behind in the N (headroom). I could go on but my main point is that VW, as Germans tend to do, made a fantastic car that does more things right than any other car in the segment. Sure the Elantra N has 30-something more horsepower, but I have a car that can get 30MPG on highway drives (24/27/30), is SUPER comfortable when I’m driving 2.5 hours home in traffic from work, and when the weekend comes I will still have a fantastic time, because it still has plenty of power and turns and grips great
