145k miles. Owned since new August 2013. Still ticking all the boxes for me !

It’s wearing its 145k miles very well.

IMHO Carbon Grey is the best colour (exclusive to the mk 6 and mk7 GTI and GTD) and Rotary’s are the best 18” VW alloys :cool:.

Front DCC shocks and all 4 springs done last year. A pot hole broke the front left spring and shock so I had both sides done. One rear spring cracked and the other badly rusted. Not cheap but I’m happy with it lasting 90k +.

Mines a mere child from late 2018 with 25k on the clock but it’s encouraging to hear that GTI’s over twice the age of mine are still more than going strong and owners are still loving them. Mine’s a real keeper as well.

Mine's also '93. Just over 90k on the clock.

Full SH. Lovely car and going to keep her for some time yet.
What suspension work did you have done?  Mine's still good on the suspension and the DCC continues to work faultlessly.

I'd like to hear from anybody running Conti SC 7's - they seem to come top of many tyre reviews for overall performance and yet not many are running them - only asking as they could be on my list for next time.

I went with GY 6 on mine as there was a good dea at the timel. I considered the Conti 7, of the many posirive reviews I read, the biggest "real world" issue seemed to be quite a high wear rate compared to it's peers?

An impressive ownership history, it's good to have a car you know well.
I intend to keep mine as I can't think of anything I would prefer as a sensible car.

One question on the suspension, I see you have DCC, how did that fair over 100k miles, did you replace the shocks when you overhauled the suspension?

I’ve just had a set of 4 Michelin PS5s fitted on my GTI performance and I’m really pleased with them. They are not too noisy and the grip is really good. When I got the car in December it had mid range tyres called Lauffen (never heard of them either) which I was going to keep but a pothole put pay to that so I changed all of them.

The PS5s are night and day in comparison. Wet grip and damp traction is great and they have a good rim protector for the alloys. On my old Leon FR I had PS4S (sport) and they were equally impressive, the lateral grip was superb but the car didn’t have the same power so hard to compare the power transfer directly.
I got a discount for 4 at kwik fit but the PS4S would have been a lot more expensive so I went for the PS5.

I’ve had Pirelli Pzero Neros before on a scooby and they were brilliant.

The only tyres I’ve really not liked were Good Year Asymetric 3 as I found the sidewall too soft and they seemed to roll too much.
