Should have bought an R in Rising Blue... would have addressed all those issues and all the things you love.. now go get a stage 1 tune to reignite your lust
I'm 1500+kms in, and I think i'm bored with my GTI. Is there something wrong with me?
- Wish it had more hoot.
- Wish i never got white - way too many imperfections show up.
- Wish it rode a bit more smoothly.
- Love the xenons
- Love the seats
- Love everything.
But I'm bored. Yes - yes I'm crazy i think.

+1.
Exact reason I put up with the wait and extra coin and replaced my September delivered GTI with a December delivered R.
In saying that, the GTI is an awesome car, and is actually more "fun" than some things in an R.
For instance,
-you can get nice wheel spin in a GTI
-It is more responsive for more fun at normal speeds
-It hooks out of corners with an almost rear driver balance (which was bloody awesome fun).
As for wishing it was smoother.. I dont know if there is another car on the market that can do that for +/- $10K.. A commodore perhaps?
A GTI is pretty darn smooth tbh and should be really a fun car.
I think its just time for an exhaust and boost gauge for you
White looks great in some cars.. the GTI is one of them. (the red lines at the front, the detroits etc all look great against the white.
And as for imperfections in the white.. just be happy you didnt get a black or metallic car then.
Maaybe I am missing something though.. did you want something more.. angry? get a new WRX then MY11. Look mean and go hard and AWD launches. Just dont expect smoothness and luxury like you have now.
Interested in the feedback

Well I got a surprising call today from VW dealer.
My R ported on the 8th and dealer has advised a pick this Thursday! (17th)
A week earlier than expected.
After running around today dealing with a particular financial institution, something tells me this week may not happen..
