I’d do the same. The GTI is a very nice car, but AWD \>\> FWD. Even moreso when boost is involved I’d imagine. ---

dealerships are in the business of making money. trading your still new GTi for a car with 24k on the clock is just foolish. I love throwing away warranty. just buy a set of snow tires for the GTi and be done with it! ---

I love how they look (well, the Jetta could use a little work). I wish you could get the GT with that nifty turbocharged/supercharged engine in The States. 🙂 ---
