Reply With QuoteThere is nothing to suggest anything wrong with the GTI. Much of the problems are with the 118TSI engine and the 7speed DSG (both of which are not present in the GTI).

I would have thought you'd need a fairly well tuned 'butt dyno' to notice a difference.Originally Posted by Lem2808
I also believe (read it in a Motor ages ago) that 98RON fuel runs that bit more efficiently and so the real price difference is about half the actual. I always used 98 in my old GTI though, and intend to do so in the new one.

^ what Ziggy said. I'm 2 years into GTI DSG ownership and the car has been faultless. The 6 spd DSG used in the GTI and GTD (also my Passat Alltrack TDI DSG) is rock solid and beautiful to use compared to a traditional auto.

I second that, 4 years into mine.
The DSG recall is only for the 7 speed versions, the GTI has 6 speed version

I was playing with one today which had a "Volume Adjustment" slider under Volume Settings under Audio.. could this be it or is that something else?

Still not a GTI. But it does look alright for the money.

On the one hand it's so much car compared to the GTI - it has bixenons standard as well as the better Nav
My first thought is - if I had a family it'd be a no brainer.
But my second thought is - if I was buying a family wagon, would I need and feel like using 162kw/350Nm? Probably not. What's the point? Which brings you back to a less powerful model.
It's a hard one to reconcile

The upshot is that you can use the low-down torque without appearing to be a petrolhead to your passengers.
