Already did my joined the club post. Just got it home from PPF and ceramic coating. Michelin Pilot AS4s (and a garage spot rental) next. Love this color. Replacement for my totaled 2019 Alltrack SE, hoping to get a lot more miles and life out of this one. Manual transmission (in big bad NYC).
Sorry for the terrible photos. I took the car from the dealership straight to paint correction and protection and snapped these quickly on my phone so my partner could see.
6-Speed GLI in monument grey with the black package. Not loving the lip spoiler and am considering removing it, that's how it was on the lot.
Replacing a 13k 6-Speed 2019 Alltrack SE with the Driver Assistance and Appearance package that was totaled by another driver going 50mph in a 25mph neighborhood zone at an intersection. The Alltrack was the perfect spec for me but I love rowing my own gears and I really like how restrained the interior styling of the GLI is compared to the remaining manual sedans on the market.
I love the engine growl in sport mode, will be using this as a four person family car - we live in an urban area, use public transit and bikes a TON, car is mostly for trips out of town or city hauling of things that can't be moved otherwise. How do others feel about the spoiler strip? I'm leaning strongly to removing it. The staff at the paint protection shop all liked it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I LOVE the monument grey color. Changes in the light and I love the pale blueness of it.
