Nice GTI! You don't see many of those in Michigan. My brother who lives in Detroit was considering getting one. None of the dealers he went to had one with a manual transmission, though

BTW, I used to live in Ann Arbor when I was an undergrad.

Re: New GTI!! (GREGSGTI 1.8T)

That's exactly what I'm getting first (suspension)...I like the 1" drop. Looks perfect and like you said the potholes here can't handle much more
Image

I couldn't decide between black and silver. The dealer had a black w/luxury package and silver w/o. I had to have the roof so I got the black.

I mean when I landed today the runway had potholes! WTF LOL
After the suspension no more squat and dive apon acceleration and braking
I knew that was the weakest link of the car everything else is awesome!!

Re: New GTI!! (vogel)

Thanks! There aren't that many here in MI being the motor city and all...lots of Ford, GM & Chrysler...everywhere. Not that that's a bad thing but not my style.
I had a 99' Jetta vr6(auto) and I was hooked. I always loved the GTI's and I had to have a stick so I finally found one...I had to drive 30 miles but I got it

Re: New GTI!! (judah)

No sheet man
back when I lived here people would pelt your car with rocks if it was an import
but I say F ! domestic cars if they suck I'll never buy another Ford
Last cars: '95 Civic
'99 Maxima
'02 GTI
the GTI is buy far the best in overall QUALITY
as long as the windows don't fall etc etc I'll be happy with this car
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have Mine! the couple months I drive pretty spirited and still manage 25 MPG

I know what you mean. My neighbor works for GM(union) and won't even acknowledge me because I drive imports...
There is a Ford plant about a 1/2 mile away from my house and a big sign that says NO IMPORTS ALLOWED ON THE LOT...just shows the mentality...must be jealous

Re: New GTI!! (judah)

Yup - the roads here are such crap - sometimes I wish I had one of those mindlessly boring SUVs so I wouldn't have to swerve around all of the potholes in Detroit! But I'd rather have my GTI than any Ford here - seems like the herd here just drives leased Explorers and throws their cigs out the window, only to have them disappear into my grill!!
Image
BTW, looks great in black - have fun!
