Buying myself a brand new Golf GTI w/ performance pack for Christmas.
Fight me.
jelly
>not buying a Focus ST
>not buying literally any other hot hatch
>>13986074
Why buy it from the company that lies to make profit?
WHAT'S wrong with you?
>>13986103
>literally minivan tier interior
>>13986124
>posts Fiesta ST instead of Focus ST
1/10
>>13986121
Because I don't really care that they cheated on emissions. Does that make me an asshole? Probably.
>>13986140
Doesn't change the fact that they both have shit interiors.
>2015
>supporting literal nazis
>paying $30k for a Golf
>same money gets you a WRX or Ecoboost Mustang/2016 V6 Camaro
>$4-6k less gets you a Focus ST
Ok then OP.
>>13986150
Don't you want better atmosphere for your future kids and grand kids?
>>13986183
>WRX
rattling riceshit
>Ecoboost Mustang
""""""ecoboost""""""" mustang
>2016 V6 Camaro
DUDE NO WINDOWS LMAO
>>13986124
yeah wheres the huge touchscreen and stupid fucking joystick for me to jack off while driving 0/10 would not look up restaurants with
>>13986183
- WRX is hideous
- 4-banger Mustang is blasphemy
- V6 'Stang = rental car
- Focus ST ugly as fuck
That's the facts, CockMaster. Fight me.
>>13986205
>$30,000 for a FWD 2016 Volkswagen
>literally the same money buys you a ton of cars new or used, maybe even a leftover new 2014 Evo X with enough jewery
Get the extended warranty you'll thank me later
>>13986202
Still a shitload less hazardous than 95% of cars on the road
>>13986074
I'd personally prefer a Megane RS, but the Mk7 is supposed to be very good. Go for it, OP.
>>13986224
>used
I forgot to apologize in advance to all the poorfags. I'll have you in my thoughts. Happy holidays!
>>13986258
>used
>desperately trying to justify spending $30,000 dollars on a front wheel drive golf with legendary Volkswagen reliability and build quality (lmao)
alright then
>>13986074
In a world that just saw the release of brand new generations of actually well engineering Mustangs and Camaros, you're spending money on a box instead.
>>13986246
This. Take a look out your window on a Saturday morning. Those Mexicans swinging weedwackers around are more harmful to the environment.
>>13986271
>When you pull up to work in a Focus ST...
>>13986074
I wish I could afford it τbh OP, have fun with it.
>>13986074
I bought myself a fishing pole for Christmas. You did much better than me.
And idk why people in here are hating on GTI's so much. I mean VAG is a shit of course. But the GTI is the hatch that all others are compared to. It's the M3 of that segment. It may not be the best at everything, but they are fun cars.
>>13986277
I'd be spending maybe $10k more for a Mustang or Camaro with the options I want.
>>13986074
Enjoy it senpai. However, why noy buy an R for just a bit more like I did?
>>13986305
Isn't the price difference like $10k?
>>13986310
Not a fully loaded gti with PP
>>13986246
Then why add more fuel to fire if you already see it burning down houses?
>>13986305
I approve. Enjoy that, Sir.
May I ask what you ended up paying?
>>13986202
Shut it, Libtard.
>Stealthily turning this into a /pol/ thread
>>13986361
$46k with taxes etc. Canadian dollars btw.
Fully optioned.
>>13986305
>>13986310
>>13986327
What this guys said. A 2015 Golf R is only a few thousand bucks more than a fully loaded performance package GTi. And don't listen to half of these guys OP, they don't know what they're talking about. The ST drives like shit and don't fall for the VAGXD shills with their ford bait. I would however, consider an older STi over it or even an EVO X with tons of upgrades if possible.
>>13986393
Goddamn, goddamn. I'd personally buy something else for that price, but still a nice choice!
>>13986409
Ah, but I forgot you said Canadian dollars. That makes a difference I suppose.
>>13986287
>When you don't even get to work because your Golf broke its camshafts and your boss has had enough of your vape snorting millennial ass so he uses it as a excuse to fire you and your $30,000 broken VW gets repo'd two months later if you're not smart enough to do a insurance job to get out of a bad decision in a long history of bad decisions.
Assuming the car doesn't try to kill you.
>>13986296
Its not a car known for long term reliability. And just like the M3 there's better cars in its segment.
>>13986407
>Drives like shit
>I know better than Randy Pobst and literally every automotive journalist in the world
Literally no one has ever said it drives like shit. Hell, someone at Jalopnik actually put 75k miles on his in 3 years. Matt Farah compares his Fiesta ST to a Integra Type R in how it drives/feels.
>good enough journos have actually bought the cars with their own money
http://jpdaugherty.kinja.com/focus-st-75k-mile-owner-review-1743617015
>>13986417
Yeah I paid full cash for it. Considering the exchange rate, the R is a bargain in Canada.
I would definitely buy something crazier if I wasn't limited to AWD. I love it so far.
>>13986074
40k for 220hp turbo 2.0
could literally get an STi
>>13986451
This.
Get a Mustang or Focus ST.
>>13986451
I never claimed that VW's topped reliability lists, but don't pretend like Fords are bulletproof. My sister's Fiesta is a nightmare.
>>13986493
$40k? You must not live in the States.
WRX/STi hasn't looked good since Hawkeye gen. Current ones are soooo fucking ugly.
>>13986511
you're a bug-eye
>>13986494
Again...
I don't like how the Focus looks, and a Mustang of my liking would be roughly $10k more.
>>13986305
this desu senpai
>GTI w/ PP and DSG etc fully optioned
$40605 CAD for 220 HP and FWD
>Golf R with Tech package (fully optioned)
$43410 CAD for 300 HP and AWD
GTI is for keks.
>>13986549
Wow, I can't believe it is that close. Is the R missing anything the GTI would have at that price?
>>13986565
No, nothing.
I am not ever sure if the GTI has DCC which the R does have.
get dat Eurodyne tune mang
>>13986565
I don't know what's going on in Canada, but here in the States...
>4-door GTI w/ PP starts at $27,090
>Golf R starts at $35,650
I wouldn't call $8,560 a small difference.
>>13986611
seems like Americans got keked.
>GTI Autobahn PP with 4 doors and DSG and all options
$36,840 USD
>Golf R 4 dr with DSG and full options
$41,110 USD
Still pretty good but not as good as us canucks.
>>13986074
Why don't you wait til boxing week for some good deals you fucking mouthbreathing retard
>>13986451
For that price, the Focus ST has an open diff?
Even a Civic Si comes with a LSD
>>13986629
That's assuming GTI owner would want full options and DSG. Not a very realistic comparison.
>>13986642
The Civic Si drives like shit compared to any of its competitors. The LSD is its only redeeming value.
And frankly with the amount of discounts Ford gives on them you could always later on get a Quaife installed and still come out cheaper than the GTI PP by a few grand.
>>13986635
Because I'm not a poorfag Canadian.
>>13986451
>Literally no one has ever said it drives like shit. Hell, someone at Jalopnik
>Jalopshit
>>13986074
I went with a 2016 wax over the GTF. Hard choice since my last car was an mk4 GTF. Loved it. Overall, the wax felt and performed better for me. Interior on the gti is in a different league altogether. Way better. The awd was best for where I live though. I do miss the gti though. The golf r was 10k more than my wax, I did consider it though.
>>13988544
Just realized wrx was corrected to wax... Fuck all
>>13988527
>Jalopshit
>Still more reputable than a bunch of queers on /o/ with 20 year old Miatas
The guy actually spent his own money on a new car and had good things to say about it.
Should be worth something. Its not like its a press car he drove for free.
>>13986631
Here's your (you)
>>13986121
Wat is GM
>>13986074
Why not the Seat Cupra?
I had a 2014 Leon cupra 280 for half a year. Car was an absolute beast and the LSD worked wonders.
It was expensive to insure and run though with 14l/100 km consumption
Traded it in for a 2011 gti that was 10 grand cheaper. Running similar power figures with remus exhaust, apr carbonio intake and apr tune. Eibach springs for some lower. Even as an older model the build quality of the gti is superior to the leon
Torque steer is real tho
If you can afford the gti I can highly recommend it based on my experience with the leon cupra
>>13986074
Fag
Make sure you get the lighting package too.
>>13989261
Can't say I have any idea what that is (American)
>>13989493
Thank you for that insightful input.
>>13990463
Idunno... Is it fairly tasteful, or would it make the interior too ricey?
>>13988544
Oh, I'm sure the WRX performs great. I just don't like how it looks. Enjoy though!
>>13990878
It's a Spanish-built Golf GTI with a slightly detuned R engine instead, as well as somewhat nicer looks.
Only sold in Europe as far as I know.
>>13986074
>VAG
ya dun fucked up now
>>13986074
Good job, op. This is probably the best time to buy a Volkswagen. They are doing crazy discounts due to the whole emission fiasco.
I would also buy some stocks too since they will rebound within a year or two.
