Grats. I wish I could trade mine in right now, but the negative equity would kill me. Have to save up some more...

Thanks everyone! Last night I ordered the Toyota matts from amazon and I just read everyone's suggestions. I'll be retuning the toyota matts and ordering the weather techs. Thanks again.

As a prior MKVI GTI owner, don't resist...let the twins into your life. You won't regret it one bit.

Thats my next purchase, going to look for a DYI because I will most likely screw it up!

Any particular brand?

I traded a 5 month old mkvi tdi....and haven't regretted a single moment of losing $$$

I truly didn't like the new tdi, especially since mkiv was my love and the mkvi was totally a different car
A dissapointment

As a moderator on golfmk6 I can say that none have failed on TSIs. The design doesn't allow it.

All that said, as one very strongly considering leaving a wonderfully modified stage 2 GTI, this thread makes me want to jump over to a twin even more.

Hah, I remember your username now that you mention it. Dare I say you posted a pretty extensive review on a unibrace at one point?

I actually participated in a unibrace GB on that website some time ago, for my R32.

Hey Ronnie! Glad to see you are still in the industry and not over there anymore!
