This land might technically be part of the city of Philadelphia. Can you believe that? Dirt roads, open fields, sunset - you know I pulled over and grabbed a pic. I even put it on Instagram, not that most of my followers appreciate a lick of car culture.

Thought ya'll might like it. Carry on.

Most excellect choice of car, and nice picture. I have the exact same one, in blue.

Funny thing about the Autobahn versions if you ever try to trade it in - The dealers like to treat them just like the base model and not a separate one that was ~$6k more when new. Thus, low-ball city.

Thanks. Fortunately, I think I got a great deal buying it CPO and I won't be trading it in anytime soon. Got it this October with only 89— miles on it - she's going the distance!

Wut? $6k?

What all does the Autobahn package include?

It turns the GTI into a luxury car, IMO. Every option - premium sound system, xenons, real leather, nav, nicer (more mature even?) alloys, Kessey keyless entry, the sunroof, the everything.

It's pretty much the "I want every option but only want to check one box" package. Makes the interior look on par with an Audi, but still costs $10k less than a comparable A3.

Only problem is that for whatever reason nobody recognized this on the used market, so they depreciate really badly. Check your local listings, you'll see them priced comparatively to "regular" GTIs. Good if you're buying, bad if you're selling.
