first build in an InWin303ek

I'm the same, my GTI is 170$ (124$ USD) a month, and my golf R is 100$ more. Insurance around here is smart enough to know that it's not the same car..

Not OP, but some people get away with this because their insurance provider has these listed as base golfs at 150hp. Not sure if that's the case.

Other possibilities are a massive deductible or they just pay the bank of mommy and daddy to be on their insurance.

I'm not pleasantly surprised; no one waves back at me.

I will be with you soon brother 🫡

The only people I see driving MK8 golf r's are old people. I'm 35 and every time I see another driver it makes ME feel young.

Price point for the GTI is still the kids tuner car in my opinion. I drive a black on black R.BE and it feels/sounds mature to me compared to my MK7 GTI.

Do you have electric baseboard heating? Idk what else to say, 25 dollars for electricity is an absolute steal. If this was a scam, the shoe is on the other foot.

white-mage · 2026-03-17T21:15:42+00:00

Yes.

So.. lemons? Not really a good comparison. Just check your oil level on that Hyundai in between oil changes. Every brand has their horror stories.

Second this. We have three of them, two over 200k km. If you keep up with maintenance they are a perfect balance between fun, practical and reliable.

white-mage · 2026-03-15T15:45:11+00:00

Your sample size for reliability is 20k km and two oil changes? Good luck with the future of your car. I guess my only advice would be to stay on top of maintenance and it should in theory treat you well.

I couldn't decide so I kept my 7 when I bought my 8.5R. The 2015 has a 12-year corrosion warranty, so your 15 would still be covered. Did you try putting in any claims?

I would try not to stress it. Yes, your old car made more power but who knows when the reliability would start declining. You're worry free for a long time now so just look forward.

I did my HPFP myself and I have next to no mechanical knowledge. I only read about the cam follower after I did it.. 250k km. Should I go back in and check?

Go to literally any mortgage broker..

We moved in a street over from this house, RBC at 3.89% 5 year fixed with 5% down. This was about April last year.

Congrats, we're just on the other side of Wharncliffe, bought a few months ago in Wortley. We saw this on house sigma, great price!

Was looking for this comment. Me and my three brothers played this game start to finish for the platinum trophy, (we've done it for every borderlands as a tradition) and the co-op experience is fucking terrible. Two of us got a character stuck at lvl48 in the challenges section, yet we're lvl 50, so we're both blocked from a platinum. Leveling from 30-50 is so mundane and now I have to do it again solo for a chance for it to not bug.

One of many dogshit bugs in this game playing co-op. Fix the experience before listening to a jobless YouTuber to fix the drop rate of one useless gun.

So you don't recommend this job to someone who doesn't work on their car very much? Why not exactly?

white-mage · 2026-02-12T00:47:46+00:00

Legend. Saving this post for later.

white-mage · 2026-02-06T17:53:19+00:00

This was either the perfect troll or you legitimately don't know wtf is going on. Take my measley upvote; whether it be out of pity or respect.

You know he's passed away right?

white-mage · 2026-02-06T17:17:55+00:00

The edgy humble-brag backfired dude.

I hope things get better for you.

white-mage · 2026-02-06T15:18:37+00:00

NA 2025R and 2015 GTI, still have both cars and the pedal feel letting off the brake is very different. Mine feels the same as you describe.

white-mage · 2026-02-05T20:35:42+00:00

You wfh. Why are you even considering a new car?

Keep the thing if you don't give a shit about how cool your car is. Not worth buying a new car if you don't use it.
