Really been thinking of grabbing one of these, I want another AWD as I've had a Mazdaspeed 6 and these are just so much comfier also cool to see your so close! I'm down in western mass

[@CJDavid-pe9ue]

Bro! I have a Speed 6 myself. Debating on getting an MK7 R!

[@henryi9738]

Bro, earlier this year, I bought a 2017 MK7 Golf R w/40k miles for $29k ! ... but that was before used car prices shot up.

[@NewEnglandPete]

not a bad deal!!

[@NewEnglandPete]

not a bad deal!!

[@lmmaccount1232]

is so so... if not mistaken 2017 is auto 6-spd, not 7 like on the 2018, color and type of trans will also determine price.

[@ReviewedByAndy]

Can’t forget the 30k mile Haldex service!

[@spawnandbatman6975]

What’s that?

[@RyGuy-]

Found a fully loaded 2017 with 71,000kms ( Canada ) clean title no accidents, clean body and interior, all service up to date and good service record. They are asking $35,500 Canadian for it.

Curious to hear if anyone else has suspension creaking? Just got a new clutch installed and I have some creaking that just started in the front left side of the car. Only really seems to pop up after about 30 or 40 minutes on the road. I hear it can be common to need to have things lubricated and it's coveted by vw, but I figured I'd put it out there to see if anyone else had a similar experience

[@antp914]

I’ve owned a 2015 GTI SE and currently a 2018 R and both of them have creaked. It definitely gets worse when it’s colder out but it seems to just be a part of the platform and nothing to worry about too much!

[@enigma.b9]

@@antp914 Thanks for the reply. Much Appreciated!

[@cameronjames6096]

on one of your older videos you mentioned doing a detailing gig (house tour i think) you still planning on doing that?

[@NewEnglandPete]

yes! I do it part time.

[@swank8847]

only complaint about my mk7.5 is my axels were a little weak and everyone says that they’ve never had that problem maybe i got a bad batch or beat on it i guess. and they don’t make upgraded ones for 2020

[@NewEnglandPete]

never heard of that issue before. was that a warranty fix?

[@swank8847]

im scared to take it to vw cause i’m fbo and on coilovers 😂

[@cengeb]

CPO is the only way to buy used. Warranty from factory..gotta have stick..

[@julieandevan3308]

I mean the 18/19's have a 6 year/72k mile warranty which is pretty good so even if you buy a non cpo now you got a couple years left. (assuming unmodified and not TD1)

[@JoeYTHEcreatore]

My mk7.5 is at 31000 miles and nothing wrong. Also I tuned at 1200 miles

[@NewEnglandPete]

these cars are beastly

[@devn3813]

I’m looking at a 2018 with 36,000 miles and two owners. I wonder if it’s a good buy or if it’ll be beat up or unreliable

[@Random63R400]

@@devn3813 It's a car so treat it like your body if you don't take care of it of course it'll won't "work" well if you take care of it regularly you'll be good 🤙🏿

[@talanius1]

Hey so I just got my 2019 7.5r last night! Super stoked, just curious tho, are you voiding the warranty by tuning the vehicle?
