This car is solid, quick, handles great and is really fun to drive. I’m 65 years old and it makes me smile every day!

This vehicle will peak not only the practice side via its 5 doors but also it's performance and engineering components I assure you it's not a GTI it's a flying box. 😀

R vs GTI

I love my GTI. Nice performance, handling and practicality, all rolled into one car. If I could afford an R I would have one in a second, but I'm completely satisfied with what I have.

A rattly POS

After 2,000 miles, I can say that I hate this car. Everything rattles. The back seat rattles. The front passenger seat rattles. The middle armrest rattles. Something rattles in the ceiling. The thing behind the back armrest rattles. The front driver side window rattles. I've never had a more annoying vehicle in my life. Every single time I want to enter something on Google maps using the keyboard, some nonsensical message about the keyboard prevents me from using said keyboard for two seconds. If the passenger uses the touchscreen while I'm driving, the screen freezes and displays some moronic message about safety, making me lose focus. It's not even particularly fast or quick. It's only those things on paper.
