      Pros. Fast. Torquey. Cheap. Super fun to drive like an asshole lol.
      On ramps! Weeee
      Exhaust note sounds great.
      I added a stick figure giving double middle fingers to my right. Makes passing much more satisfying lol
      The led headlights are great and the daytime lamps get a lot of looks. GTI owners wondering wth
      Cons. Sterring wheel needs more tilt and telescoping. I will make a video when i fix this. Need to make a couple new holes in the brackets to tilt and file off stops for telescoping.
      Traction control is super frustrating. This car wants to go but turning onto a street with any gusto gets you stalled by it. Argh! I cant/wont fix this with aftermarket until the warranty is up at 72k.
      Stereo lacks. They really should have put in the better one. It needs an upgrade.
      Plug for android auto is in front of the shifter but the compartment isn't big enough to swallow my phone. So I never get the clean look of having it closed.
      Overall I really like this car. Gets 30mpg on a trip, about 26overall. Gets looks. I have the white w tinted windows and a whtshdw plate ;)

      Please post a video if you ever adjust the tilt and telescope I think it needs to go lower than it does.

    How does it handle? Since it is a bigger car with a v6 in front.

      It's not that hard to maneuver. I was surprised switching from a small hatchback to this monster.

      @@heelznwheelz3128 what did you do? List of mods? Can I turn on xds? Or is it a new diff? What did u use to stiffen steering? The torque steer with an aggressive pass from 50mph is a little disconcerting. I'd love to fix it. What about the warranty? Do you void the bumper to bumper?
