thanks for all the feedback.... pulled the trigger on a used 2011 4dr GTI w/7k miles (no nav or sunroof).

I really don't like the dealership/sales process. The 30 second pitch on the antibacterial misting for only $500 made me want to scream... serenity now... serenity now...

Nice. Pics? My dealership experience wasn't bad. The funny part was them trying to sell me on the full 3m film treatment for $950 the car already had. Does anyone buy lojack or the extended warranties?

2010 6 speed, autobahn, H&R coilovers, 24 mm rear sway, APR ecu software upgrade, 13k miles

Congrats, sounds like a great car!

Misting!!! What ever next! Makes me think of the scene in Fargo with the body protection - well they put that on at the factory - oh yeah you betcha!

Well.. for whatever its worth after a few weeks of ownership, this is a nice little car. I actually like the DSG. Plenty of getup and go, nimble, etc.

The getup and go improves quite nicely with the APR ecu upgrade. I finally figured out which programs mine has and have it set for 91 octane. It really improved an already great throttle response and feels quite a bit quicker.
