He probably doesn't know it's a 5cyl.Part of me wants to get him in the car to take him for a rip around the block, so he can actually hear it, but I don't really want him in my car. He came up to me just to tell me he didn't like how it sounded. lol...Like, "do you have an exhaust leak? That doesn't sound good, I don't like it at all, but I'm used to big V8s"
Having owned both a mk5 and mk6 golf, I can confirm. And it's funny listening to the mk6 guys complain about it, because the same thing happened to their generation. VW lowered the build quality, but improved the engine, added software features and updated the styling.The cost cutting between the 7 to 7.5 was incredible, and yes a lot was further cut into the mk8
Shiidd, even the 5 to 6 had a lot of price cuts, i.e. hid headlights not a standard inclusion
No real launch but have definitely floored it from a stop a bunch.He probably doesn't know it's a 5cyl.
Btw have you launched your car yet? I'm guessing you've floored it.
Don't give it to the new kid.What about that Mini? Want to get rid of that to free up some space?
Get the 1275 engine with the straight cut gears box, it will be a thing of beauty.Don't give it to the new kid.

there's a mk7 near me with what I can only assume is rain gutters comprising the entire exhaust system. It sounds horrible. It's not the only one either -- I've heard several VW 2.0T cars that just sound unpleasant, and it's reinforced my decision to spend more than I've spent previously on exhaust parts combined in order to try to avoid that awful sound.
I don't know anything about mk6 build quality, but I've been fine with my mk7.5. There are some things that I think would be nice to have (backlit overhead controls being a big one), but generally speaking, I don't know that I see it. The mk3 vs mk4 I'd say there's definitely a big gap (or I had the world's nicest mk4 and all my friends coincidentally had the worlds worst mk3s).
Also @Corprin what is that behind the shelf in the last picture? I don't recognize it, it sorta looks British in nature but I'm the worst at identifying things.
I paid $27k for my 19 Rabbit Edition new. You could have gotten $26k last year. Car prices have dropped off big time and are going to continue to drop next year. Manufacturers are subsidizing loans again, so interest rates will be much lower for new cars, pushing used prices down.
I think I'm fairly nice to folks about their cars, even though I'm not a fan of "Classic American" stuff -- I didn't grow up with/around that sort of stuff, but I'll try my best to ask engaging questions and not be a dick (unless provoked).Pt 1.

Really sounds like he's got the emotional maturity of a 5 year old. Have you tried giving him a hug, and assuring him that you won't make fun of him, even if he drives a Jeep? Maybe he's just scared.And I was so nice to him when he came into the office to show everyone his dumbass trump duck he got for his jeep.
They work well enough. You know, one PC could solve a lot of those problems #PCMasterRacetechbros - i have three gaming consoles and a TV with two HDMI ports, do the 1 in, 2 out splitters work well so I can just plug each console into its own port?
