    Default 2016 GTI: new daily

    I wanted more utility from my daily driver; so I traded my 2007 Grand Touring Miata (#6) for a 2016 GTI SE 6 speed w 4 doors..
    It's a damn nice car, but I have buyer's guilt from taking out a new loan. Argh.
    I'm trying to play with the Apple Car Play that is standard on new 2016 VW stereos..
    I may look into an APR ECU flash for more power.
    I miss the Miata already; it is really more fun to drive...
    There will be a number 7..
    SOLD: 92 silver w/hardtop, voodoo, Kosei wheels, pine tree air freshener, and some JR stuff.
    SOLD: 99 silver; the old Goodwin supercharged car with gobs of power and everything else on it.
    SOLD: 95 triple black; stock
    SOLD: 99 black and tan; loaded and clean; just hit 50k miles.
    SOLD: 2006 Copper Mica Red; stock.
    FOR SALE: 2007 Galaxy Grey Grand Touring; stock; 38k miles.

    Funny thing about the want lists; I felt the same way and couldn't let go until I got one..

    Nice! It's time to replace our 06 GTi, and we'll be looking at a new one shortly. Anything you could share regarding your dealership experience(s), either positive or negative will be appreciated.

    Congrats on the new ride.

    I bought at Randall Reed VW in Mckinney; the 2016 GTI's were trickling into dealerships and selling about as quick as they came in. Mine was listed with at a good discount off sticker already, so I bought it at their price with no BS extra warranties or fees... The guys at Rusty Wallace were good too, but the 2 times I dropped in to see a car, it had sold the night before.

    I wanted specifically a 2016 for the newer stereo unit with Apple Carplay; this puts your iphone maps (free navigation) onto the screen..
