Default Sold CR-Z. Bought GTI

I was unhappy with the recent IMA issues and the response from Honda. So without going into negative nancy mode I decided to side-grade into a more practical car.

CPO GTI - 2-door - black - DSG

Update: Picked up. Will miss the rarity of the CR-Z and I already miss the cool 3D speedo. Also miss the sound system in the Honda. The GTI has dynaudio but it doesn't have great lows. I do have a sunroof and heated seats now thou.

Goodbye : (

Heated seats will give you testicular cancer.

Nuthin wrong with a GTI. My wife's car is a 2012 Jetta Sportwagen TDi. Good solid feel to most V-dubs.

I'd suggest to extend the warranty enough to cover up the entire period of ownership. It's a great car as long as everything works.

Excellent. The GTI was my second choice when it was time to buy a new car. Still love that car.
