First New Car: Been Awhile (GLI Content)

[Whelan]

Hello to all at MO!

It's been awhile since I've posted here with my 2005 Toyota Matrix XR AWD. As of last November that car was sold off and I acquire my first NEW car ever, a 2012 VW GLI Autobahn. Came with 17 miles on the clock (ordered the car to spec);

2012 GLI Autobahn
2.0TSI 200hp / 207lbft.
6 speed manual

The car has the Fender audio system, leatherette with red stitching, flat bottom steering wheel, dual zone climate control, heated seats, 18" bathurst wheels, and the appearance package (rubber mats, rear lip spoiler); and like I said, it's my first new car. I have not done a full detail on it yet but just ordered my product and will be doing one shortly. Just felt I would say hello again and let you know that I LOVE this car. Coming from a 4spd auto with 127hp that did 0-60 in about 11 seconds, this is a rocket. And I'm happy to be in a manual again. Anyways, I'll be around so talk soon!

Beautiful new Jetta you have there. I like the aggressiveness of the car. If you look for any tuning for the car look up APR.

This looks really cool. It is getting difficult to find a car come with a stick.

Yes it was definitely hard. I looked into the Kia Optima SX Turbo as well but they only offered a manual in the lower trim levels, not very appealing.

Whats up! The wheels and CC were some of the reasons I bought this car specifically. I did not want to have to worry about changing things like wheels, and having dual zone climate control was a must have on my list because my wife is always the opposite of me and I love having the car sit at a fixed temp instead of flipping through the controls all the time.
