GTI Sport 6M - Most fun I've had in a long time

I purchased this Sport 6M after a long search for the right manual transmission car. As one of the dinosaurs who still likes to shift his own gears, my options are getting more limited. I previously owned two BMW 328i models that I loved, but as they grew older, they became a lot less reliable. I wanted to find a car that has a strong track record for reliability but is also fun to drive. Every comparison test that included a GTI mentioned that these are near-perfect cars. The more I read, the more I realized I'm missing an opportunity. This car is such a blast to drive. Enough power to get me through my commute, but also makes weekend drives so much more fun. I forgot how much I love to drive and feel that connection to a car. The interior is better than I expected, the Clark Plaid seats aren't just a talking point, they're comfortable and so supportive. The shifting is easy and precise, although it took me some time to adapt. It took me a minute to get over the fact that I'm a 40 year old who drives a "hot hatch", but it's not a mid life crisis car. It is practical as much as it is fun. Overall I am thrilled with this choice. I have a 9 year old car enthusiast son who is begging me to keep this car until he is old enough to drive...he may get his wish because I see no reason to move on.

I've been driving it only for 20 days. I should have bought this years ago.

I love this car. I have wanted a Golf forever, but it was always just out of my price range. This car has everything I could want. If I could add one thing, it would be a sun roof, but I'm not bothered by the lack of one.

2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI Autobahn 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I bought this car new in Feb 2017. It was the GTI autobahn with the 6-speed manual. I just traded it in for a 2019 GLI autobahn. Mainly to get the 6yr/ 72000mi warranty that is already being reduced in the 2020 models. It had under 33,000 miles and was the best car I’ve ever owned and I’m 68. Did everything well and still got 35-37 mpg on the highway
