$30k gets you a really nice Golf R. Co-worker just bought a 6-speed Mk7 and daily’s it here in southern AB on a set of Michelin X-Ice’s. Ive driven it a few times and would definitely have one over a newer WRX.
I also suggest you to buy ATE or TRW pads, because cheap stuff might squeak.
I would say do your own oil change. Castrol euro car and the maan filter. Do it often, maybe before the 5k kms. Make sure to do the transmission on time.
Autoglass replaced my windshield with original VW one. Great service.
In the end I went with the spec - RAVENOL VMP SAE 5W-30
Motul 300V 15W-50 In my "circle" it is used up to 1200+ HP.
Vaguely remember having the oil and brake fluids changed for my 40k, and maybe a tire rotation.
I'm running on General Altimax R43 - Grand Touring All Season. Very good tire overall, but when I step hard on the gas pedal, I can't keep the tires from squealing in first gear, even from a roll. It seems the GLI can benefit from a tire with better dry traction.
The gti tired are crap
My new GTI has p-zero all seasons and they suck. So much slop, understeer, and it's really hard to put the power down.
