Today, with mixed feelings, I parted with my GTI. Just shy of 3 years and a whopping 14k miles on the clock. I love almost everything about the GTI. The list is simply too long to mention. But it was time for a change. I'm 39 and have had 18 cars so I guess I have car ADD
I have been wanting something a little more substantial and with more content. Although my GTI was loaded (minus Nav which as a stand alone option on the 10's), it still didn't have a lot of the conveniences of today's cars plus I've always had 4cyl FWD cars so I opted for a fully-loaded xdrive135 which includes a turbo 6cyl and AWD.
I was originally looking at the x128 but like the steering better in the x135, plus the abundance of power. I was also wanting for a more comfortable ride and feared the 19" wheels would be brutal but the ride is pretty comfortable, even with the M's sport suspension. I'll share more as I get to spend some time with it.
So here it she is (sorry for the cell phone pics):
I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I've been wanting a small utility vehicle.
Ah my lil GTI. She will be missed...
