I’ve gotten myself into a lot of trouble with 200 HP, my MkV GTI ain’t too much of a slouch. My roommates making over 300 HP (to the wheels) in their MkVI GTIs is bonkers though.

However, after that I have had to make court appearances for ridiculous shit like going 6 mph over the speed limit, as a grey late 90s Honda Accord cruised past me going…

I hardly believe it is that slow, and all of the DSG models are faster than their manual counterparts (2…

I mean I could blabber about how the new TSI has won multiple engine of the year awards and how pretty much the only reoccurring problem on the Mk6s were the water pump...but, I think that would fall on deaf ears. Even with my FSI I can say that my GTI has had no major malfunctions that are out of the ordinary even at…

The Evo is also being discontinued, so it's important to take note of that.
