End of an Era
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.
Classic ride. I actually have a 2017 GTE SE, manual...
..always a joy to drive. Let us know what you replace it with. Onward and upward!
The ultimate hot hatch.
A car I’ve wanted to own for more than 25 years, but have never quite gotten there.
So what now?
Glad to see the GTI has loyal fans.. Next up..
Austerity... The wife and I are newly married (1 year) and looking for a home in the next 6 months to 1 year. We'll be down to one car just to keep the cash we've saved for the down payment on the home and any car payments from negatively impacting our ability to borrow from the bank. Real estate market in Toronto has been crazy over a decade of 15%+ annual price increases, so just happy we should be able to get something we'll like if we're diligent in this next little while. After the house has been sorted, hoping the next car takes me into 300+ hp territory. Still young (32) so plenty of time for future toys.
Lovely car.
I’ve still got my 2015 Golf GTI Performance. Only 8000 miles covered but have no intention of selling it anytime soon.
You’re 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 contemplated on getting one 5 years ago but sadly only have this one parking space for my pick-up which I cannot give up. Tartan upholstery? (Nt)
..
I opted for leather
First car that wasn't a hand-me-down from my older siblings so decided to treat myself
VERY satisfied GTI owner right here.
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.
Ohhh trust me - it crossed my mind more then once. Just turned it in =-( [nt]

Love the GTI! I have a 2017 GTI Sport and absolutely love it. While I purchased my car, I am waiting for the digital dash to enter more mtrims/models and then will try to make a switch
I would like to recommend a Golf R if that is in the cards. I drove the last generation and can only say good things.
The Golf is a classless car that does everything with aplomb. The GTI/GTD variants are gems. [nt]

Classless? Do you mean it has no class or it cannot be classified? [nt]

I think the idea is that it doesn't mark the class of its owner. [nt]

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.
