Speaking off, I was recalling JST's troubles with the R's clutch when I came across some comments suggesting the GTI's clutch is kind of weak. I'm very easy on my clutches but my wife isn't. No burnouts or anything, just a more average clutch use. But given my commute is mostly hwy, I think we'll be ok... until the kids learn to drive stick.  |
Yes it feels weak and according to the interweb it fails very quickly if you chip it to add more power. I think the r has the exact same clutch.
With that said it is very easy to drive so it will be good for kids to learn on.
