Yeah replacing the Grey MKV GTI I had as a daily for a couple months.
I had no idea. I thought you had a MKIV last I heard.
Still sweet bmw. The zhp is supercharged right?

If you look at an MK7, go with 2016 or newer. It has the MIB2 infotainment and supports Apple Car Play and Android Auto. One of the only regrets I have was going 2015 because of that.
Huh, I didn't realize the 3.6 4mo was still an option. What the heck is a passat GT?
It's not....the NMS Passat (2012+) that's built in Chattanooga, TN has had the 3.6 V6 as an option since 2012 & thru 2018, dropped in 2019.
It was only paired with a DSG trans (awesome combo) and FWD only though -- I've had 3 of them.
The (V6) GT was a package, for 2018 only, that lost some features/options to gain the GTI/racer boy looks (a dress up package)
It's not a bad car for the price though of ~$30k, but could definitely be bought for less since it's the end of the model year.
The 3.6 is reliable, the DSG pairing is heaven IMO, and then you had the 6 year, 72k bumper to bumper warranty on the 2018's to boot.
It's a very solid & sorted option IMO
The OEM LED head lights and tail lights are pretty sweet too. The mods are just limited for that car though (suspension/intake/exhaust).
My (old) 2017 V6 with a Borla cat back:

That was my old one...I'm now back in a Tiguan (my 4th one)....I can't learn my lesson and keep going back, if you can't tell
The B6 Passat was definitely a little nicer than the B7/NMS though, BUT the GT is a good car for the money especially with that warranty (if you need the room).
The 2017 SE w/Tech I had was by far the best/most optioned one I had though, and with the intake/Borla exhaust...I really did love that one the most

You got rid of the Taco? I thought you still had it
I haven't had a MK4 for years lol, the MK4 was replaced by my Subaru, which was replaced by my Tacoma, replaced the Tacoma with a MKV GTI, got rid of it for the bimmer. And no, unfortunately it isn't supercharged, just a regular 3.0L straight 6. It does get different cams, higher rev limit, and a different exhaust than a standard 330, as well as a 6 speed (vs. the 5 speed in the standard car) and a whole bunch of other upgrades.
Do you work for VW? Maybe at a dealership?
No, lol
Just a VW nut....it all started with my ('09) MK5 GTI and then spiraled out of control....I'm on my 13th new VW since '08
I just can't get away from this platform (facepalm)
Ironically, I just sold a part off here to a random local guy and low & behold (what are the odds) he had just bought a MK5 GTI. It turned out is was my old GTI....that was the best one I had
Also, I'm back spending money on my cars again.
Also also I am bored at work.
also also also Max - if you could get my order out from DAP today that would be great - I'd like to install them on Friday <3
