Lease on my 2017 GTI is due. Have to hand the keys back to VW tomorrow. It's been a great car, lots of fun memories with it including some fantastic road trips. The radar cruise control with lane keep assist changed highway driving forever for me.
The only issues have been some electrical hiccups, on occasion the reverse camera would come out but the screen would just be black or the infotainment system wouldn't turn on when the car did. All in all, a joy to drive and own.

Iโve still got my 2015 Golf GTI Performance. Only 8000 miles covered but have no intention of selling it anytime soon. Youโre going to miss that car. Thanks for sharing.
Only 8000?

I've done 78,000 kms in 4 years. Lease was limited to 80k. It's been a good run

I know this is unreasonable, but my response to hearing that your lease is up is: don't let them take it! Purchase off the lease! That's how much I love my GTI.
I never drove a GTI like you

but a TDI. Satisfied, and after 5 years i wishes more luxury, so sold to a Honda dealer. Great car, and it hurt to say goodbye. Good memories about Volkswagen. ...
