Haven't done a super long road trip in my MK8.5 - but have done a few 200mi trips. The car absolutely eats up the miles. Seats are super comfortable, cabin noise is tolerable, and I averaged 34MPG both ways cruising between 72 and 80. I personally despise adaptative cruise control, so I immediately turned it off (aggressive Boston traffic makes it unbearable). I did keep the lane assist on which is fine, not as good as the lane keep in my Raptor, but works very well. I'm more than happy with the ride, and once I get on to some smooth pavement, the 200 treadwear tires really quiet down.

Man, eu am avut debica all season pe prima mea masina, la 200 de lei bucata, nu exista diferenta de zgomot (pe un golf 4 ofc), nu alunecau si franau corespunzator.
Eu le-am pus pe un Golf R. Le am puse de vreo luna, nimic suspect momentan, masina mi se pare ca se simte exact la fel ca inainte. O sa vad cum se comporta iarna
Go with the Giro's and leave them on permanently. Better cooling and braking and cheaper to replace just the discs (2 piece rotor) on future replacement.
The pair from Hella was cheaper, and works like a dream.
I just changed the oil in my MK7 GTI (around 300hp) with MOTUL X-cess (5w40) and my god did it ever make a difference!
I ran this in my mk7 and my brother ran Castrol Edge Euro in his mk7. I have since sold mine but neither one of us had any type of engine/oil consumption issue and he still has with 130k on it.
I've been running Mobil ESP 0w20 (VW508) since my 1st oil change at 3k miles (5 months into ownership), then another oil change at 7600 miles 10 months later. I've ran a few Auto-X events, a light educational track day (not pushing the car too much), and certainly am otherwise not shy with the throttle at all. I have also had 1k miles on my stage 1 tune since July.
I’ve had my car for 6 months. It’s loud on the return wipe, like it’s there is not enough water so it stutters. It happens regardless of how much water is on the glass. I had a MK7 and it was silent. Its happened since day 1, I’ll start by changing the blade and see if that is the issue.
VW has replaced 2 internal turbos on my wife’s 2018 manual Golf. One at 46k and another at 103k.
