I'm a new member on the forum. I've read many posts and I?m happy to know that we have some serious folks here...ie..ppl are not just fooling around on this forum..
I've been looking to buy my first brand new car for a few months now..and the choices have come down to two cars: GTI or Civic Si...
I'm more inclined towards GTI...it's just a great car, too much fun. On the other hand, Civic's interior was just ghetto...i didn't like it..however, the exterior esp from front is great!
I've been to a few dealerships (checking out other cars as well), and recently I test drove a Si. Somehow the manager (who happened to be standing outside) made me say what other cars I was looking for (he tricked me by asking too many questions)...i said 'GTI' and he had a lot of bad stuff to say about it....I can understand that he wanted me to buy the Si but anywayz...
I had a few questions of my own about the GTI...first here's what i'm considering:
I want to buy white GTI with DSG and pkg 1....
1) I'm not sure what radio option would be a better in southern california?
2) DSG sounds fairly new technology in GTIs, and in the back of my mind i'm just concerned in using the new technology. Are there any known issues with DSG?
3) if there are issues with the DSG, how helpful will be the warranty?
3) The resale value...i might just use the car for 2-3 years and would like to sell it off or trade it in. How good is the resale value.
I just need a little help in making my final decision...and i want to make the right decision, i certainly hope you guys can help me out in making the decision. Thanks!
