Sad to see my GTI go

**mickofoz** · 22-07-2009, 03:08 PM

I currently own a '07 GTI. Sadly it has become a little small for me so I just upgraded to a new Tiguan.
I was seriously thinking about upgrading to the new GTI since it now offers DSG and a much more frugal 1.4TSI twincharged engine.
I love the new interior too. It also now comes with Sat Nav and climate control. What a car this is going to be.
I hope I will have as much fun in the new Tiguan.

APR has an ECU remap for the Tiguan.

APR also has a stage 3 tubo kit for the tiguan which bumps the power levels up to 370HP

From what i have heard, the tig is a very enjoyable vehicle with great functionality.

I upgraded from a 06 GTI to a new Tiguan ..... 2.0T (with all its potential

) and AWD. It solves all the issues I had with the GTI for me.

Big Plus .... in a manual its only about $7K more than a Polo GTI and with 200+kw will have any similarly powered Golf or Polo GTI for breakfast off the line .....

Its like a WRX but with class & style ......
