Any other VW GTI or Golf R converts?

Good news, EV GTI coming soon:

When will this concept become reality? That's also a subject on which VW isn't ready to talk just yet. ​

But you can get a taste of the future at IAA Mobility 2023, where the ID. ​

GTI Concept will be on display starting September 5.​

I had 2016 GTI autobahn with DSG, but I drove a beater 2007 Acura TSX for 1.5 years before jumping into a M3P this past March.

Even though the coolant level didn’t seem to be dropping, I would occasionally get a whiff of sweet coolant odor after parking since it was new. With the powertrain warranty over, common water pump failure issue, paying off the car note and peak supply chain shortages it was the perfect storm to unload my GTI to Carmax.

The GTI was the perfect balance of sportiness, utility and size for me. It didn’t hurt that the interior quality was poor man’s Audi quality either. I would love to jump into a Golf R when it goes electric, but realistically it would be more expensive than a M3P (after tax incentives) due to dealer markup in my area.

Still got the ole' girl.

But has since had a few more VAGs before coming to my Model 3LR and my MYP.
Had a B6 S4, B8.5 S4 and still have my dual pulley SQ5.

I had a mk7 GTI for a couple of years before buying the model 3. My favorite car I´ve had I think!
Switched to electric to save cost on gas, but I do miss ICE cars( but not the gas prices). When I have more garage space in the future I would love a mk2 GTI 16v for a weekend car

I'm sure anyone on this thread will like this new Jay Leno's Garage Youtube video:
