New DD

Just picked up a '10 VW GTI, and so far I'm liking it a lot. Very solid car, decent handling and acceleration, and amazing gas mileage (got 38 mpg on my commute).

I still have the max, and it will be getting some much needed TLC. It needs a new axle, new front and rear bumpers, possibly a paintjob, new tint, and I want to rebuild the engine eventually because I have precat failure and burn oil now...

Onto the pics:

GTIs are fun to drive esp with good MPG, hopefully you will get the max back on the road shortly.

Nice pickup man, I've been a fan of the MKVI GTI's ever since they hit the showroom floor.

Now get to fixing the max

Thanks guys, it is a nice car and I'm glad I chose it. I'll probably be getting something in about 3 years. I'd love to see Audi come out with a new RS4 or for BMWs to get less ugly... For now I think I'll do a stage 1 or 2 tune ($500 gets you either and it doesn't cost to switch..), an intake and downpipe. People are seeing well over 300 whp with the stage 2 and supporting mods which is more than this car needs.

Randy, yeah I haven't had much time to mess with my maxima; that last year of school was killer, and I'm traveling a lot right now for work. It'll be on the road again soon, and much happier than it is now

phat, that's my good friend's G8. He's got a tune, some exhaust work, intake, and subframe connectors. It's a fun car but mannn does it feel huge when driving it!

APR Stage 1 NOAW!!!!!!

I love the GTi's, I looked at the MkV GTi before the Saab. I was leary of the issues with first generation of the 2.0T FSI.

I love the look of the new generation

good luck with it buddy, looks pretty sharp, look forward to seeing what mods you will do to it. You seem to have a very clean/classy/practical style.

Congrats

Seats are nice and they hug you nicely, but my favorite part is the steering wheel.

As of right now, all I have planned looks-wise is tint and some oem euro LED tail lights. I'll probably find something else to do but for now keeping it simple.
