The only weak point of the driving experience can be the brakes. The stock rotors are not totally up to the kind of driving that car demands. This is easily remedied by aftermarket rotors and they are super cheap.
The only thing I have done to it before the most recent work was to change out the rotors and pads.
Stock rotors are cheap and effective anything bigger is just for show.
GTI Clubsport rotors drop 2.2lbs per side at the front
FWIW, I recently replaced my front rotors and pads at 40k and I have about 8mm on the back. At this rate, I'll probably have to replace the backs around the same time I do the fronts again. My rotors look nothing like yours though. Mine are smooth and no grooves.
For instance, on my Honda Fit, I went aftermarket on the brake rotors because the factory ones had a habit of warping with my driving.
My Golf R's brakes look like this as well. I have 10K + miles on them but they have been like this since 2-3K miles. I'll say it's "normal". Even though i haven't experienced it with other cars that i can recall.
Our rear rotors are garbage. The front seem fine but i can see rust marks for where my pads rest when i park it for the weekend. Im researching our incredibly limited options on rear rotors at the moment.
Brought mine into dealership, the service advisor said they manufacture these rotors out of softer material now so they don't warp down the road. The softer material downside is that they wear faster. I don't believe that at all. If they wear faster, wouldn't it be more even wear and not scored lines in there??
I looked at my wife’s Tig and they look bad as well only 3900 miles.
