Ok, finally pulled the trigger last Monday morning.

2015 GTI 4 door with DSG and 20,000 miles.Wanted to try the DSG to minimize the potential for turbo lag and wanted the 4 doors to load my road bike and camping gear.

Starting with 2015, the Mark VII,s have increased the torque from 207 to 258 and the car is lighter!

Still in warranty and a whole lot of fun.Will start being prepared to do the head/valve cleaning in the future due to direct injection.Will be looking for time frame and average cost for this in the future.Anyone know about this?
