Wow Ed did I touch a nerve .... first of all I disagree with you, I didn't tell you should feel differently and commenting on your post is what these boards are about. You post an opinion and then someone might or might not respond to your comment. I completely disagree with you about the whole 'level' of cars thing and btw the comment about the 911 boxster thing .... again I disagree with you on that too I also disagree that you said no one cares about your opinion ... you are incorrect I absolutely care about your opinion as well as the others here which is why I frequent the board. Please post another response so I can disagree with you some more |

there are few cars probably as versatile as an e90 vintage 335i or 335xi with a 6sp.

Put a deposit down on a 2015 mk7 GTI to replace her TDI.
SE (leather, fender audio) + Perf Package (R brakes, +10hp, front LSD) + Lighting Package. We were going to go new (as the 2017 deals are good) but VW dealers are really s*** to deal with. Found a proper private seller and a black pearl car with only 4k miles and an extra winter set of tires. There is one downside. It is APR Stage 1. It is a pretty serious modification, more so than I expected. We'll take our chances I guess. |

When you say taking a chance with the APR stage 1 are you referring to the warranty ? Any pics ? |

Yes, the warranty. Ideally we would have gotten stock. I have actually never modified a car beyond wheels, trim and cat-back while under warranty. That said, this is a significant bump in power (feels like my s4 give or take) and we liked this particular car and its price..
