nice ride...

[pennyrobber]

Great car. This was definitely one of the rides at the top of my list while looking for a new car a few months ago. 

[corey]

crazy. i just bought one too!
good choice
i went with Candy White.

Crazy?  I wouldn't say that, as they are damn fine cars. 

Did either of you go with the DSG?

[Speedbag]

Freakin' sweet. 

I had to go 4Motion Tiguan due to my locale. It handled the weekend's near-foot of snow with aplomb.

I commute from Bristow to Reston, damn skippy I went with the DSG.  Traffic is only getting worse.  The clutch isn't bad on the GTI but I think I'd go insane.  Right now the only thing driving me crazy is the break-in.  I'm trying to have as much fun as I can without going too far over 4500 rpm.  Kinda hard to do.

i went with Candy White.

I wanted blue but they didn't have one so I went with the next best thing.

Danny it looks the "DOG's" in red...

[Speedbag]

Break-in??

As long as you've got a hundred or so initial, careful miles on it, drive it like it's yours.

man, that must suck in the summertime with Nissan Pavilion (or whatever it is called now) traffic, unless you are using like 7100 to 29 to 28 or something to that effect...but between Reston down to 66, there's lots of little burst fun roads to play on...

wouldn't they consider picking up a blue one from another dealer for you?....our dealership does it all the time...

I actually live not too far from Nissan/Jiffy-lube Live and the traffic does kinda blow.  Especially if you don't know there's an event and try to drive down Wellington Rd. 

The color wasn't that big a deal since they had red.  If all they had were the black and gray, it would have been a problem.

I own your car's great great grandfather.



Not a fan of the new ones only because of their curb weights, but love the look compared to the MkVs. Get that puppy chipped and go have some fun

Now that is a GTI. 

[zooom]

I disagree....

a MK1 83/84 solid lifter head 1.8 JH code with a 4K trans is a REAL GTi

but I am kinda personally biased, as I have always loved the MK1 chassis over the MK2...

[Artful]

Now that is a GTI. 

Coincidentally it's only a Golf but shhhhhh

I'm a MkI fan as well but this one kind of fell in my lap. Well kinda "fell" in, it started like this...



But enough about my old beater, nice MkVI!
