As a fellow Plaid enthusiast, I approve of this decision.

I test drove a base golf the other day and couldn’t believe they still only have a 5 speed.

Nice! Seems like oppo had a successful week car shopping. I almost bought a CVT Audi A5 because it had GTI style plaid seats. They are hard to resist.

Congrats! One of the many selling points when I bought my MK7 GTI was the Tartan seats. Welcome to the team. It’s a great platform

Was thinking the same. March Madness it appears to be. Oppo is putting in work.

Yep. If it’s the 2.5 it does have character. Had a 2.5 Jetta last year.

Why yes. This should be an option in more cars.

This one had the 1.8T, and looking on VW’s website, and the base motor is the 1.8T

Drove pretty nice, I can see why people buy them. I drove there in my M3 and I will say it felt a little underpowered, I guess with the M3 I’m used to being able to put it in 6th at 35, top gear in this at 35 did nothing.

2.5 L(?)-5 is a good motor. But the golf has a 4-banger right?

Welcome, fellow VW owner. I just picked up a 2011 Tiguan myself.
Congrats on your GTI! Always had a thing for the plaid.

Technically it’s called Clark plaid.
Regardless, they are awesome seats.

While a six speed would’ve been more fun, that car never really needed an extra ratio. It’ll turn 1800rpm at 60mph in 5th and I easily got 35-40mpg out of mine as a result. The torque from the turbo will happily pull you along at any revs over 1600rpm. Getting up to speed was never an issue either; VW underrated that motor on the spec sheet, it’ll do 60mph in 7 seconds, which, while not M3 fast, is far from slow. I usually revved out second and part of third getting up to speed and would already be exceeding the limit. It surprised people in autocross as well, I will forever remain curious just how competitive the car would have been had I put suitable tires on it.
