But again, all that said, the new awd 300hp version seems to be pretty special here. Just wish we could get the s3 , rs3 and s4 avants here. I'd have one if we did. |

Congrats on the car! I have a current generation VW GLI as a daily driver. Great on gas, good performance for every day driving and you can have some good fun on twisty roads too.
I mainly went for the GLI because I like the sedan body style more. It looks like a mini Audi S4 from the outside.

The GTI always does well in the hot hatch comparos, plus there is lots of aftermarket support. However, VW generally has not ranked very well for reliability. How have people found the GTI in terms of reliability?

Great choice! Had a GTI previously, will probably have another one someday. The GTI is one of the few cars left that really feels a lot better to drive than its numbers would suggest.
Now that the Camry V6 does 0-60 in 5.something seconds I just don't get excited about lots of power like I used to. The GTI really hits a good sweet spot of performance, practicality, and conservative styling |

Just wanted to update on my GTI.
Last week, I added a Remus exhaust, Volk RE30 Clubsport II wheels (custom painted satin bronze) in 17x8 with Michelin PSS in 245/40 (the wheels weigh 15 lbs. each) and a Kersher front lip spoiler. This little car is a blast! Lots of fun and now the grip is even better than before (all-season P7 tires stock).

My brother picked up the same car in manual. Fun little car and the interior looks great for 25K. You guys need the LED taillights asap. Thats the only thing i don't like about the US spec Gti.
