A very wise man I know once told me, ‘If you don’t price shop, you always get the best price.’ And BOY has that changed my mindset. Look, if you have the money to pay for something, and you see it and you feel it’s a fair price, buy it.

Your TIME is way more fucking valuable than haggling over $500 for a car or…

Yeah, right now there’s probably only about 800-900 in the entire US. I was top of list for my local dealer that I’ve been working with for years, so I got their first one and they requested the allocation for what I wanted; Blue, DSG. (I know, I know, but my knees are shot and my wife can’t drive a stick.... :-( ....…

It’s really not that bad. Took me all of two weeks to get used to it and now I love it. /shrug

Man, it’s so weird that the thoughts on the infotainment are all over the board. I had a 7.5 GTI and I now have a 8 R, it’s awesome. In my opinion, the complaints over the infotainment system were so blown out of proportion to almost border on negligence. It took me all of 2 weeks to get used to it and now I love it.

I…

I really appreciate you pulling together this list. I live in Indy and I think we take for granted that we have a pretty great downtown area, despite all the nay-sayers.

I’m usually out at the track about a dozen times during the month of May, and it’s still an amazing experience walking into the track ever year.

I bought a new 2022 Golf R, and with the INSANE demand and super low Supply, you know how much I paid for over MSRP?!??!

Nothing, not one dime. I went to 3 dealers and the two that told me 5 or 10k over MSRP, I told them to pound sand.

No fucking way the bank are ok’ing a loan on a KIA with a 5k markup, these people…

Pig will fly before the Republican legislators in Florida passes a ‘use’ tax on boats. The rich GOP yacht owners would run them all out of town.

Miami-Dade is going to lose, I don’t see how anything that is officially registered as a boat with the USCG can be taxed under the current law. Eventually a judge will have to…

“but semi-decent chance they don’t before BK comes knocking.”

Could just as easily be Burger King...

Mmmmmm, Whopper......

Yeah, it’s not even a close comparison. A new GTI has similar features AND a more powerful engine, for less.

The Type-S, when it eventually comes out will be 45+.

It’s VERY blue, the best blue... Just hit 1000 miles yesterday, let the fun begin!

Yes, take rate right now it about 60/40, DSG to 6MT

I’ve been in it for a week, the button and dash issues are so fucking overblown, it’s mind boggling. It took me 2 days to get used to it and it’s great.

How dare u.

100% should he buy it out, even if he plans to turn directly around and sell it.

I bought out my lease for 16,500 and then turned around and traded it into a dealer for the car I ordered, they gave me 25,000 for it....

They best part, he was pressured to lose, and then they fired him for not WINNING ENOUGH GAMES!!!

He was really fired because he refused to tank the team and the owner wanted a high draft pick.

Sales will 100% not drop off, they will sell every single one they can make. All VW dealers I’ve talked to have waiting lists for GTI/R’s a mile long.

I have a R on the way and when the GTI came to my local dealer, I went and played with the controls and came to the exact opposite conclusion. With the shortcuts you can add and the fact that almost everything aside from climate controls can be done from the steering wheel, it didn’t bother me at all. And I currently…

I don’t know what the hell is going on back there, but it’s not good.

No it’s not the photos, the car is just fucking ugly and doesn’t look good in any lighting conditions. I’d go back and buy my 2018 WRX before ever being caught dead in one of these.

But wait, a new contender has entered the arena!! Just got word from the local VW dealer here in Indiana that they want an extra 10k... TEN THOUSAND, for the MKVIII GTI they just got.....
