Moving on.
 

Traded the FR-S for a 2018 GTI.

Some pics of the old and the new.

So far only mods are tires, wheels and an intake (also tinted and ceramic coated)

Next will be a tune to about 300hp 350tq and coilovers. Mayyyybe an exhaust.

Nice ride. What made you want to switch?

Nice GTI, always liked those but got a Speed3 instead. Golf is more refined and comfy.


Enjoy.

I also just moved on, I’m gonna miss the FRS, but I’m now the owner of a 2005 Honda S2000. I love the car, but it’s only been 3 days. Congrats on the GTI! :-)

The FR-S was paid off, so I wanted to trade it in while it still had decent value. I strongly considered the 2018 BRZ TS, but ultimately I wanted something more practical. My wife has a 2016 Focus ST which I love, but didn't want to get the same car, so I started looking into the GTI (always liked them) Test drove it and fell in love. the build quality is superb. Some stock GTIs are doing sub 14s in the 1/4 (Driver dependent). Also dyno-ing at 230whp when VW rates them at 220bhp.

Congrats on the GTI! it's the jack of all trades of affordable sports car.

Your FRS looked so cool. Congrats on the new ride! I strongly considered trading in my 86 for a GTI last year but didn’t like the test drive as much as I thought I would. Great car, just not for me right now.

Congrats. Had a passenger ride in a GTI once and loved the handling, speed and the tartan seat pattern. Would have considered it instead of the 86, but having already owned a hatchback (Cooper S), I wanted a RWD car. Enjoy it!

you'll miss the FRS. I guarantee it. Going back and forth from an S7, power and comfort are great, but the visceral feeling of having a car that does away with creature comforts is something else.

I don't think I'll ever give up on my FR-S unless it dies or i die, whichever comes first.

The MK7.5 GTI's are very very good, especially if you got the Autobahn.

I was previously a MKV GTI owner and I do miss the swiss-army knife nature of the GTI from time to time.

I miss mine every time someone needs to use the backseat.
Its lack of rattles was also nice.
I don't miss having to change the HPFP cam follower once a year...

I'm sorry for your loss.




But in all seriousness, congrats on the new ride! I see a lot of hate on those things, but I've always thought they are beautiful.

Ah yes, joys of FSI ownership. Inspect cam follower every 3 oil changes lol.
