2019 Golf R

[Sijray21]

welp, it's been exactly a year since the purchase. So far so good with as little miles as it has. I've only put about 7.5k miles and that's mainly been because I've simply wanted to drive it around. I love getting in and driving it.

I've discovered that AWD donuts in the snow are really fun (all season tires), however the car flips out and lights up the dash even with the traction control off. The snow traction is pretty decent with the Conti DWS 06s tires and the 4motion works well; not as confident as dedicated winter tires, but that's understandable.

I've enjoyed the short shift kit and that feel should've come stock, imo. Overall i've been pretty pleased with the decision to buy the car and plan to own it for a while. I'm hoping it'll retain value as well.
