Mine was built 3/2014 and delivered to me on 6/2/14. First one at my dealer, and VWoA told me it was essentially the first to be delivered to a customer in the Southeast US. I also wish I could have waited for PP, but I wasn’t in a situation where I could do that. Previous car had been totaled in a rear end collision,…

I’m still bone stock in terms of engine performance. Its plenty quick for my needs, and I haven’t heard all the best stories from people on stage 1 tunes. Buddy of mine grenaded his engine with a tune and downpipe, and I’ve heard countless other stories =/ My car is number 2253 built in March of 2014 so I’m afraid my…

Totally agree. Have to say though - CSG is easily the nicest color for a GTI. Not loud or obnoxious, but very interesting and eye catching in its own right. Kind of suits the car perfectly.

Haha I get that question at least a few times each week. I’m a bit hesitant to say for my own selfish reasons. But they are OEM VW wheels (only available as accessories - never came on any models from the factory). =P

I hated the price too, but it was an absolute must for me. Also wired and coded them for proper functionality with amber signals and rear fog. SO worth it.

My car is kind of the opposite. It is “Carbon Steel Gray”, but usually looks greenish or even blueish depending on ambient light haha. Only looks properly gray a fraction of the time lol.

And people continue to idolize these mouth breathers...

Because the accord has projector beams even for their halogens.

THIS. SO MUCH THIS.

Really want to get excited about this. And I’ll definitely be watching. But does anyone else get the feeling that Evans’ moments in this clip feel completely scripted and manufactured? Like he’s trying to be “the new Clarkson”.

Still kinda awe struck that I got to meet and hang out with Elizabeth and her husband a little while ago at Cars and Coffee here in FL. Such awesome people!

It still boggles my mind just how small these LMP1 cars actually are.

My gut is telling me 2013-2015 Honda Accord Sedan.

Here’s a pretty comprehensive set of clips before and after a res delete:

Open your airbox, take out the filter and you’ll see a black plastic “grate”. This is an intake resonator to remove some intake noise. It pulls straight out. Then replace the filter with a high flow one (I’m running an AFE Dryflow). Instant solution for more intake noise.

Specs alone do not a hot hatch make.

Don’t worry. This news doesn't make your car any less awesome. Welcome to the Mk7 club!

Bingo. Had they reversed the releases, I doubt the S would be as hotly anticipated. Makes you wonder what could’ve been had “Genesis” come before Hyundai in the US.

All VW’s actually. 10,000 miles or 1 year.
