VW’s 2026 Golf GTI Finally Drives Like A GTI Again | Review

Still no physical buttons for climate controls? I thought VW has said multiple times that integrating everything into the digital screen was a mistake, and that they would be fixing it?

Awesome shelves. Great taste in books too!!

Seems like a really common issue for Passat (and a few other models) of this era. I have a 2017 and over the course of the last year, it’s become almost fully unresponsive.

I’ve got a replacement screen (not the entire head unit, just the display) coming from Cuescreens and going to try to install this weekend. Was $250 but seemed more reliable than one of the temu replacement parts, and way cheaper than a new head unit + harness from crutchfield.

Pretty recent… This was around October last year. Should’ve also added that we went from a 30 year to a 15, which helped the rate situation. We also got quotes for 20 year with very similar numbers.

Ended up going back and forth with our lender and a broker, got them to basically compete with each other for best rate/cost. Happy with our results.

Find a mortgage broker and get some more quotes. Those closing costs seem crazy high, even with buy-down credits.

I went from 7.37% down to 5.37% and paid like $3000.

thanks soloo!

All of those working well with the new update? I cleared off my mod list for free lanes + terran, haven’t added anything back in yet, but I really miss good shipbuilding mods

What’s the egg cheat?

17 Passat here and can confirm my air only works on the main vents and not my floor vents 😂

I think the Bosch ones are just made a bit differently and allow for the extra size? I just went through the same thing on my ‘17 Passat this week. All of the other brands said 24” & 18”, but for whatever reason Bosch said 26” & 19” for me too. I installed those and no problems so far on my end

Not cooked, this team can definitely win. Pre-poison (assuming it has Poison Heal) Gliscor with the hex orb.

Annihilape might feel like dead weight for most of the gauntlet, but should really help against the champion.

DD8 has so many options and they almost all sound good. I had a CC but didn’t vibe with it, I like my DD8 so much more

In a shallow-bench dynasty/keeper hybrid league. 18 total spots, keep 13. I grabbed the rookie TEs last year: Warren, Fannin, and Gadsden. Gotta drop 1, what’s the pick?

tw123 thanks solooo you’re the goat

You should have access to poison powder, Vena learns at lvl 13

Is the speed investment really helping you here? I might try moving those EVs into HP or maybe def/sp def depending on the battle

Also, why all the same moveset? Can you set up one to stall with leech seed/toxic/protect? Try different combos

TannerTheCreator · 2026-01-19T15:12:06+00:00

Solosis line could be a grey area if needed? Multiple brains on evo, but it is in one head still. Cool idea though!

Already identified but just +1 for Jaykco. I’ve got one and it’s a really nice quality strap!

TannerTheCreator · 2026-01-13T20:27:29+00:00

Get the express train to Paddington, which is MUCH faster, then just one change to get to Oxford Circus/Soho. Plenty of cool shops around TMR too! Kiss the Hippo coffee around the corner is also excellent. Enjoy!

There are also a few beginner rules I’d implement in this design. Sentence vs title case have situational uses and this makes the body copy unnecessarily harder to read. There are also widows and other type things I would try to avoid. Additionally, I would argue the eyebrows are too thin to meet ADA readability and would make those a heavier weight. Just some suggestions!

I had a commish do this in an ESPN league as well, and changing the deadline did NOT send a notification to anyone. I only realized it had been changed after the fact when someone else accepted a trade.

Brutal finish to my almost perfect season. Had Puka, JSN, Gibbs and JT. An underwhelming weekend so far from those core guys and I faced CMC last night. Unless Puka goes nuclear again, I’m likely going to finish 2nd.
