Thanks. Comparing to my Z, this little Golf definitely can keep up. The DSG automatic changes gears very smooth and fast. There is a learning curve getting used to drive automatic after so many years of driving stick. This is my first daily driver with automatic.

I've had my R for just over 2 years now and it's been great. It's a tank in the snow too!

I got a Unitronic Stage 2 tune at just over 10k miles and and am currently at about 33k with no issues whatsoever.

Cool. Stage 2? You probably have over 300+ hp.

I haven't been on a dyno but other people are getting around 320whp, It really makes the car quick. The ability to flash your ecu at home is nice too.

I've heard APR is very popular, and you can get 60+hp with stage one. Finally my R hit 600 miles, and I finally can keep it up pass 4k rpm. I took my wife for a ride in "race mode" without using a paddle shifters. Cruising at 65-70mph, I floored the gas paddle, and she yelled, holly sh*t.
