Tuned Mk7 GTI 120k Ownership Report: The Best Fun Daily Driver for 15k?

How well has this 2015 Volkswagen GTI held up after 120,000 miles? And why I think it's the best fun daily car for around $15,000.

In my 78 years of living, and driving about 62 of them, I gotta say my 2019 GTI S DSG is by far one of the best all around cars I have owned. It’s my daily driver, and my only vehicle at this time. Great performance, gas mileage, and fun. Out of all the cars I have owned, and there were many, my 1959 Peugeot 403 came close ! Thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴

$15000!?! Crikey, in the UK that'd be 20k+. They just hold their value sooo well and cost so much more new than in The States :(

Had a MK6 and I loved it but, the MK7 platform is superb. Been running an OTS stage 2 tune for about 23k miles and it’s been an absolute blast of a car to daily

Found my 2014 with 130k miles for Couldn't believe it! Only had it a month but I already know this is going to be a long relationship 😂

Love my 2017 GTI (MK7) Autobahn DSG - Clark seats ( by choice )
They tried to push for leather but I was adamant for the classic GTI

VW dealer wanted to buy it back in 2021…lol
They called and asked on a few occasions.
I still have it as my daily.

The mk7.5 gtis plaid seats were an option even if you got a autobahn trim. My buddy has a fully loaded 2018 GTI with the plaid seats.

Maintenance to last me
A lifetime

Just got my mk7 GTI at 100k miles. Can't wait to log miles in this thing :)

Love my 17 gti sport. Bought it brand new. I’m constantly looking for the next best fun car to drive but can’t bring myself to selling it.

[bucknut]

Yeah, I got a 2015 SE manual, it's got 220k almost. The first 180 was pretty good.

i bought my GTI in the US at the end of 2020. 2016 SE. I have thought about getting something new but I have a really hard time finding something of equal or around the same value. For $16k (with 40k miles on it) I don't know what else I would buy that would even come close! Sure, I can maybe get something better, but not for $16k! Sticking with it until I have enough money for a used Golf R some day :)

Good luck finding one for 15k in todays market

I have a 2015 autobahn purchased in may of 2014. I love it my 4th gti and keeping this one until the EVs are ready

Great video, I have 2015 vw gti 2 door reflex silver, I’m about to hit 60k and it runs and looks great

[adventureswelove]

It’s pretty expensive to do, but you can do a factory retrofit of the newer infotainment system, and even the digital gauges, and from a difficulty perspective, it is very easy. Those parts are a lot of money though, but the price that you could get a 2015 for might leave room to do those as well.

Would love to know if you've had an issue with the water pump/thermostat housing? Thanks man 🙏

I just got a 2016 Volkswagen golf GTI Autobahn with DSG can you tell me the proper procedure for parking the car and using the parking brake

[martinmcintyre]

How has the DSG been treating you, and have you had to replace clutch packs in this car? I know, 2 year old video but hopefully you still have this GTI and could shed some light on this?

What headlights are those? They look good.
