2019 VW Golf GTI Performance DSG

[JamesC27]

Picked this up last week, bit of a step up from the Audi A1 it’s replaced. Lovely place to be, but with a wild side. Mark 7.5 2019 comes with additional options keyless, virtual cockpit, etc.

Biggest shock is the noise from the not so small exhaust’s, even in comfort mode it makes itself heard.

This an awesome car and very fast. My cousin has a white one 17 plate and he's put mclaren rims on it. He's getting a miltek exhaust fitted an induction kit and a remap. He said once he's finished modding it it will be faster than an R8!

LOL.

I'm liking this, they're good value too when nearly new.

Here's the rest of your photos, not sure why they didn't come up in your post.

You mention the noise level - there's a 'structure borne sound actuator' or soundaktor that essentially vibrates the windscreen to make a (to me not nice) fake engine noise. It can be coded out easily so you hear the actual noise. It's no Ferrari V8 but it's a damn sight better than the pretend noise!

Worth noting when the soundaktor is set to eco mode it's at its lowest setting, which is still 25%. With it coded off the car is considerably nicer on a long run and Race mode becomes far nicer.

Thanks for that Baldchap will look into it.

Is he 17? Or have the mind of a child?

Love the colour and the seats!

I picked up mine at the end of January; same colour, which I really like (only seen one other in it since - they seem to be mainly black) keyless but mine’s manual. It’s a fantastic bit of kit, which has pleasantly surprised me having been a Porsche owner for 20 years; latterly a 2007 911. All I want to do is drive it....

As mentioned above the soundaktor removal is definitely worthwhile. It's easily unplugged if it's easier. You just need small hands!

Also I recommend a bigger turbo hose as the elbow is so small and restrictive on the OEM part....makes a noticeable difference when changed.
