Not me personally, but my 75 year old mother. Currently she’s got a three pedal R56 Cooper S in BRG, and a three pedal C5 in silver. She has been wanting to replace the Cooper to make it easier for her to get my daughter in and out of the car. I wish I had room for the cooper, there are only 30k miles on it and I’m sure they got killed on the trade.

Anyway, yesterday she sealed the deal on a 19" GTI  SE w/DCC. Also, with three pedals. It’s at a dealer in VA, so she won’t have it for a few days. Then we’ve just got to get her a new set of wheels and tires and she’ll be all set;)

I’ll bust a review once I’ve had some wheel time.

Nice!  Is the picture the actual car?  I thought the 2019's had different wheels.

Is that the actual car, or some pic you found to post? Unless they’ve changed their model features, the SE should have a sunroof.

DCC is really good. It is the one feature I wish my 16 SE had equipped. The upgraded Fender stereo is fantastic.

Congrats to your mom. That is a very nice car and I am sure she will enjoy driving it.

Nope, I did the googles.

Nah I googled the image. I believe it does have a sunroof. I had DCC and or whatever they call the Audi version in my S3. I left it it the sport mode all the time. However, that cooper is so bumpy that I bet she will enjoy the “comfort” mode.

Badass mom dude! Did she get white? That’s what color my GTI is and I love it.

DCC will be nice. The ride on the GTI is pretty good but DCC makes it that much better.

My wife just purchased a CPO 16' GTI MT - fully loaded for a steal. Kicker is it only has 15K miles and is clear bra’d and ceramic coated (per my own inspection, not the dealer...). It does feel a little too adult, but not a bad car to log miles in.
