So I have a few questions for you guys and gals.
I test drove an 07 2 door with the 6 speed last weekend and fell in love. But I need the 4 door, its just so much more practical and looks better to me. Anyway so I am waiting to get rid of my car now and doing more reaserch on these GTI's.
First off I HATED the sound system. What absolute crap. Its the one thing that I am really just disapointed with. I have been doing so searching here and can't find anything concrete about the speaker sizes and problems installing new speakers.
I am more than capabel of adding a sub, but thats not the first thing on my list. I read somewhere that the stockers are not removable. Is this true? I do not want to cut out anything on a brand new car.
Ok, back to the car... Has anyone towed with the GTI? I think Its rated to tow 2000 lbs, but I am not positive. I need this feature because I take my motorcycle to Daytona beach like twice a year. And I don't want to void my warrenty. This is a big selling point because there isnt any other cars in its class with a tow rating.
Also, how is VW with its warrenty program? I am an avid Honda guy but they are all crap latley and I love the new VW's. I dont want to do anything crazy to the car, but stuff like intake and a nice QUIET catback exhaust might be in the works. Again I do not want to void my warrenty. I like the fact that if it breaks I dont have to pay for anything.
What did you guys pay? I know mine will be a little different because of the 4 door, but I am curious. I want the 6 spped with package 1. Sticker is around 25000 and I think I should be able to talk them down to like 23000 OTD. I will have a big down payment and I have great credit too.
Also what are the most well known probelms with the new GTI? Any recalls? Any quirks that I need to know about?
Whats the maintenance schedule like on these things?
Sorry for the long post...
Oh and my name is Chris, thanks in advance!
