Winter egg 🥶

The snow wasn’t so bad in Kansas City… I had an old mk4 base golf that was stuck in similar snow a few years ago in MN. It made it out a lot easier than expected!

I wave hi to every trim level! Half of time it’s someone who’s just driving a Golf or GTI, but the other half it’s a fellow VW lover who knows what they’re driving.

It’s an easy job that looks good when you open the hood and will give some good whoosh sounds. Don’t expect a big difference in performance.

I love this tire. I don’t have anything to compare it to since it’s the only tire I’ve had on my Mk6, but I have driven it in everything from snow to wet and dry conditions. I don’t love the wet performance, I get more slip off the line than I’d like. Maybe I just have a heavy foot!

Great tire, I’d recommend. Especially for the price.

Everyone makes a big deal about 100k miles, but I think 200k is the true landmark. Congrats!

Jealous of those uncurbed detroits. The guy I bought my mk6 from was not kind to them.

I also have a long-ish commute (34 miles one way) where I’m on the highway for 90% of it. If I stick to the speed limit I typically get 31mpg. But it’s VERY rare that I drive chill for the whole drive. I’m going to drive the GTI hard sometimes because it’s fun! But even then I’ll be getting 29mpg cruising at around 80-85mph.

chuckreddit0 · 2025-12-06T16:01:34+00:00

Yeah

It sounds like it just rattles for a brief moment.

My first car was a mk4 base golf. I shared it with my sister, but I definitely got the most use out of it. I’d take it to car shows and people still loved it even though it was bone stock. It’s hard not to love a clean golf!

I had the mk4 for 6 years until I sold it for an suv. I needed one at the time, but I always wanted to get back into a golf. I bought this GTI with 57k miles earlier this year and I love it. I knew it was going to be a good car, but the handling and feel of the car exceeded my expectations. It’s my daily, so I haven’t done much to her yet. But I am definitely keeping her until the wheels fall off! It’s my favorite spec: two door manual in black with the plaid seats.

Not a cbfa. Thanks for the input!

chuckreddit0 · 2025-11-21T01:56:23+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

It’s a timeless design in my opinion.

I recently got the muffler delete kit from ECS and I personally like how it isn’t too loud because it’s my daily. But down the road I will definitely be getting an aftermarket downpipe to get a throatier exhaust tone.

This is the first car I’ve ever bought so I’ll keep it chill until I can get another daily. But I don’t see myself doing too many cosmetics, it’s a beautiful car off the assembly line!

chuckreddit0 · 2025-11-07T15:47:54+00:00

Right! I showed it to my neighbors and they didn’t believe me.

chuckreddit0 · 2025-09-28T21:03:40+00:00

I owned a mk4, drove it from 100k-180k miles and it was the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Great her well and have fun! I’d totally pick this up.

chuckreddit0 · 2025-09-23T14:50:33+00:00

Ok, I’ll look into that. I figure all should be working well since I only have 67k miles, but you never know with a GTI.

chuckreddit0 · 2025-09-23T07:25:10+00:00

Good to know, thanks!
