picked up a mk7 gti a couple days ago with tech package, performance package, and lighting package, and couldnt be happier

cobalt will be going up for sale soon, dont want to see it go but its time to move on

 

Looks slow

 

its not to bad, for what i lacks in power compared to the cobalt (which is easily made up for by software) it makes up for in pretty much every other way. lol

 

Damn, I thought you dropped the Bimmer and snagged this.
Sucks, your car is so minty!

 

best looking local cobalt imo

only 65000kms

 

Nice car, I am thinking about doing the same upgrade.. Is that a 16? DSG or 6 spd?

I am stuck between the Fiesta ST and GTI.

 

its a 2015, and a 6 speed, couldnt bring myself to get a auto, id take the gti over the ford any day of the week.

 

Id rather get a GTI over a fiesta st as well.

 

I was so close to going all in for a golf r but decided to save for a house instead haha. Golf looks great!

 

Good thinking rice

 

that dsg transmission is the bees knees though. Im looking to pick one up for my DD.

 

Much better investment decision by far.

 

Have you ever driven a GTI with a DSG?

I was not a fan, it is a completely different car than the 6 speed. It is very delayed, you put 1/4-1/2 throttle down and the car just thinks about what it wants to do. You have to really step into it to get it to down shift. The programming is very conservative. And when you put it in Sport mode it is just jerky and feels awkward to drive in traffic.

I would go R or GTI with 6 speed for sure.

FiST and GTI are two different cars. Fiesta is more of a car with great handling characteristics like a go cart. GTI with performance pack is a similar comparison to the FiST.

But the price of the Fiesta is tough to beat, GTI is a more livable car though.

Congrats on the car!

 

Good choice. They really are excellent cars for the money. I was very impressed with the handling of the chassis and how well sorted the interior is. Light years ahead of the Cobalt IMO, or at least my SS/SC.

 

farewell friend :'(
