Find Of The Day: Summer Show-Ready GTI

What’s that? There’s summer car shows popping up all over and you don’t have a thing to drive? Check out our latest Find Of The Day: a 2017 GTI. And it’s stuffed full of mods for show season.

We don’t have to sell you on the virtues of the latest GTI, do we? Packed with power, nimble in the corners, and yet it coddles the driver and occupants. Sure other cars are faster, or handle better, or are more luxurious, but the MK7 GTI may be the best all-rounder on the market today. Take to the track and shuttle your grandma to the grocery store on the same day; it’s does both well.

This 2017 GTI comes with some great stuff. It’s a “Sport” model with the Performance Package that has larger brake calipers and a limited-slip differential. PP trim cars also have a slight bump in horsepower, but this one kicks it up a notch with a Stage 2 APR tune. The brakes have additional upgrades: cross-drilled discs with ceramic brake pads. It has an APR downpipe, an Integrated Engineering intake system, and a Neuspeed exhaust.

Outside, this GTI rides on super light-weight forged wheels mounted with Falken Azenis tires. The car sits low on BC Racing coilovers. There’s a serious-looking front splitter and a matching-in-intensity rear diffuser. This car means business.

Inside the GTI is essentially stock and completely spotless. It has alloy shift paddles on the steering column. Not to mention Apple CarPlay and the immaculate plaid seats. The ad states the rear seat was never used, the passenger seat was only sat in a handful of times, and the driver’s seat was covered with a towel on every drive.

Not a fan of all the add-ons? We’re happy to tell you the stock exhaust, suspension, and wheels and tires come with the car. Buy it, swap out the gear, then sell it and make some cash. Win-win.

If you’re looking for a ready to go ride, this may be the car for you. Check out the ad in our classifieds. The license plates are from North Carolina: a more specific location isn’t noted. Current asking price: $26,000.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
