Got my new car!

2013 Volkswagen GLI, candy white, dsg, fully loaded. VWR motorsport wheels. I’ll post some pics tomorrow when I can take them with something other than an iphone.

Fun car! Rides great, corners great. Very zippy for city driving, a bit lacking on the highway, only place my A4 felt a bit stronger. Not planning on doing much with it for the time being outside of a couple minor aesthetic mods. And lots of vagcom tweaks.

One thing that I DON’T like is the lack of auto dimming mirrors!

I like those vwr wheels. They’re rebadged tdr’s iirc. Congrats on the gli. Gti owner here and they’re great dd’s. I hate the auto dimming mirror!

picture?

According to apr’s website they are 19.8lbs. Sweeeeet!

Bango you don’t like having auto dim? Lets swap mirrors :stuck_out_tongue:

^^ I thought about picking some up for the GTI but the missus likes the Detroits for the summer and I have a thing for steelies in the winter lol.

Might be a placebic effect, but the car feels sharper than the gli’s I test drove, which had the 29lb wheels (bathurst I think). Steelies are cool in the winter, I really like the look of steelies on an audi for some reason lol.

Some pics finally ;D

And a crappy pic of the wheels.

Pretty neat vagcom mods you can do for the car. There’s one called Torque Steer Compensation, which is a setting from the v6 passat’s and higher hp cars, works really well for taking care of the fwd wheelspin torque steer crap that I am still getting used to.

Congrats and best of luck with it. Sharp looking!

Very nice!

nice car, why are your RPM’s so high? Coldstart?

Thanks guys. Unfortunately I already want a tune, was hoping the itch would stay away for longer than a week :frowning:

I live in Canada, every start is a cold start. :stuck_out_tongue:

My Karma keeps dropping because I bought a VW :frowning:

Looking good!

forget the tune. go straight to stage IV!!
