Never thought I'd own a VW... At the beginning of the pandemic the lease was up on my truck. I needed a vehicle and looked for something cheap. I came across a 2015 Audi A3 1.8 FWD I was able to get for a great price. I ended up loving the modular nature of the car and the MQB platform! I started looking for something manual and with less miles and became infatuated with the GTI, mk7 specifically. After driving one I realized there wasn't much room for my 2 boys in the back. A little more research led me to the GLI which offered a little more space but the same amount of fun! I found the perfect one in Chicago and made the drive to make her mine. She is the daily driver with tasteful mods that I look forward to maybe auto crossing this spring/summer.
