gaewsky1 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I'm thinking a getting a '16 S DSG 4door GTI as a daily. 4 door to fit the kids and DSG so the wife can drive. My questions is do you enjoy yours? After owing it do you regret it or have any major issues? It would be a lease so I'm not worried about it lasting longer than 3 yrs. What is the best VW dealer to deal with in Cbus? I've seen a couple of dealers in the Virginia area that are selling the car for around $21900 for the one I'm looking for. I may have to make a trip if Cbus dealers can't come within 500 or 600 of that price. Also any good forums to visit? I've been on VWvortex already. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA I don't believe I've seen anyone with a MK7 yet, but I'm a multiple MK5/6 owner. Central Ohio VW market is strong, you won't find those kind of deals any place, or any time until maybe end of year. The early MK7 GTIs had turbo issues, but that has been sorted. Other than suggesting you get the performance package, I fully support your decision. Judging by the reviews, you should love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Forgot to add, Hatfield usually has the best deals of the 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I dont have much to add but F*ck Byers VW. Worst sales visit I had ever had. MAG was good to work with. In the end I guess a deal is a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I do not own one, but have driven one on many occasions. If you plan to keep it stock then this wont be an issue, but the OEM turbo is made by IHI which is absolute trash and may or may not go out very early into owning the car, they have had very high failure rates. Besides that they are awesome cars. Great tech and the motors and transmissions are near bulletproof until 500whp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwohio Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Can't help with pricing, but we are an APR dealer and the many MK7 GTI's I have driven that are here in town were nice with the DSG. If you ever plan to modify/tune the car, the DSG can handle MUCH more Horespower and Torque than the stock manual clutch can (upwards of 500+), if that makes any difference. There is also a TCU tune for the DSG where it optimizes shifting and you can put launch control on the car at almost an RPM you want.

ForeverMaker Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 MAG sales people are usually LOL on the VW side. Pretty poor experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaewsky1 Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks Guys. BMWOhio, I'll keep you guys in mind if I pull the trigger. I was at CC&C last weekend and saw a few hopefully they will chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versluis Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I purchased my GLI at Hatfield, different car but were much more willing to deal on the car than any other dealer. I worked with Clayton at Hatfield and he was great. Trey at MAG Audi will be good experience as well. I frequent the VWvortex forum for all the models and I haven't read a thread about someone complaining about the MK7. Great motor, great power, good styling and I would prefer the lighting package and performance package, but that is just my opinion. Have you driven one yet?

gaewsky1 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Have you driven one yet? Not yet. Just norrowing down my options since our current lease is up soon. The GTI just seemed to cover a lot of what we were looking for. I may have to look at the GLI too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lag wagon Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 +1 for Hatfield. I have a DSG Mk5 and a manual Mk6. If I ever get a Mk7, it will be DSG, no question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a pretty good deal on a loaded GLI through hatfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
