Best Of

Still getting used to the ride of the GTI. The low profile 18" tires let me feel every undulation in the road which isn't the best thing. It's got Goodyear tires on it, same as the wife's Kona but different tread of course. Will have to look them both up to see the difference but suspect mine are more of a sports tire. One thing I do know, when the time comes to replace them, will see what size I'd have to get to have a 45 sidewall. Must admit, the 2015 did drive much smoother. But this 2025 seems to drive a bit faster when needed. Guess having the 2.0 liter engine and the different auto tranny must be the reasons why.
Overall, I'm quite happy with the punch. Been a long time coming I must say and want to thank everyone who put up with my "analysis paralysis" these past few years. But after my first test drive around Memorial Day, kinda knew I'd be getting a GTI sooner or later. And I think the key getting stuck in the steering column the day before made me finally decide to go test the grey one. And, of course, the rest is history!

My Dad had those, @graphicguy - incredible sound, but very finicky sound wise in terms of positioning, IIRC.

Very true. We’ll see. Very different from my big, heavy Klipsch Fortes!

Is that hanson Audio Video on Far Hills Oakwood?

It is! They are (were) in one of their demo rooms!

Not sure why they don’t carry them in their Cincinnati store.

They carry some very high buck gear. Their home theater demo room is very impressive!

Does that mean they found a new home @graphicguy ?
