RS Blues

Post by RxCritical »

Alas my RS and I were not destined to be. :)
Sporting a most uncomfortable seat and a mileage of 17/25 it was just not ideal for a daily driver.
So I ended up with this:

A 2016 VW GTI Autobahn, 6 speed manual, with the performance package which includes a real mechanical LSD on the front.
Very happy with it so far, quite fun to drive even on AS tires.
And I saved over $14K from what the RS would have cost me.

Nice! Cool that it comes with LSD. The one at Nationals checked the hell out on GS. You bringing it to Bristol?

Oh man, I wish I would of known you were looking for a GTi. My dad is selling his 2013 4dr Wolfsburg Edition (DSG,Laguna wheels, etc) for $14.5k.......


You'll like the car a lot and they get surprisingly good gas mileage too.

No, I'm still bringing the vette. GTI is only up to 500 miles.

Traded the Sonata in. Put Alex in the 200. Just safer. More than welcome to drive it anytime. When are we eating?
