Hey everyone, I recently spent the week with the new Mk8 GTI and I thought you guys as owners / enthusiasts would appreciate it most! Happy to answer any questions about my time with the Mk8, or how it compares to the Mk7.5 TCR I reviewed last year Cheers!

Hey folks, I am brand new to this forum. I just leased a brand new GTI Autobahn edition (MK7.5) that will get delivered this Thursday. First and foremost, the dealer (Ontario) tried to push a couple of protection plans, and i am wondering if they are worth it (the appearance plan) and the...

Here is my 2017 Polo GTI. I've owned it for about 6 months, its done 13,000 miles and I bought it in the hopes of turning it into a project during the lockdown. I was hoping to get some help as, unlike the car I had prior which was a 1.6L Ford Fiesta ZS I'm struggling to find exactly what I want...

I’m looking to buy a 2011 gti manual and it’s got 85k miles. From what I can see from the carfax, the owners took decent care of it, especially the first one. Is it a good idea to buy a gti with that many miles? I probably won’t be putting on more than 10k miles on it a year, and probably even a...

Hello, Can somebody please outline to me the primary differences between the MK7. 5 GTI and GTE. This obviously omits the engine, with the GTI having a 2L turbo and the GTE having a 1.4L turbo with an electric motor. I am referring more to brakes and suspension. I am aware the GTIs alloys an...

hi everyone, I have two VWs. A 2017 GTI and a 2018 Tiguan. Both built in Mexico for the US market. I'd like to export them to France. Does anyone have any experience of this and would could be required for France? Thanks Damian

Just purchased a 2007 Fahrenheit edition GTI, was wondering if it is anything special? It’s my first Volkswagen, and the badge number is 77/1200 so I assumed it was reasonably rare. But if anyone can give me some insight that would be appreciated.

Looking for some help?.. I drove my car to work, left it in the car park for a few hours, returned to the car and it wouldnt start, there was no funny noises just the sound of the car trying to start. Tried to jump the car but no joy, pushed down a hill to try getting it going but nothing. RAC...

Hello all! I’ve been browsing for my first car recently and decided to look for a GTI! I’m a manual driver in my 20’s with a total budget of approx. 20-25kCAD. I love the look of a GTI, and the way I hear people describe how it drives. I found a 6speed 2017 GTI Autobahn 4dr w/ 49,829km for...

Hey guys. A couple days ago my 2012 Polo Gti starting making a swooshing sound when I accelerate. It only happens at higher speeds(above 40kph ish), and only happens for about a second and then goes away. I initially thought it might be DSG related, but i've kept it in individual gears using...
