No issues yet except for a suspension and steering squeak at low speeds, will have the dealer look at it in May, it's been doing it since new, but drives fine. Occasional sensor freak outs when it snows but every modern car does that.

With the increasing gas prices at least driving something like this it's not a big difference. My 22 WRX would probably be like $80 to fill up with less range vs $40 for my GTI that easily gets 400+ miles of range.

The stock perelli all seasons are holding up fine, I probably have another 10-15k miles left on them. I haven't really noticed a difference in grip yet, they were surprisingly decent on the snow and ice.

Car is very prone to understeer and pulls a ton of power when launching but likely due to the small 225 width all seasons. I need summer tires. e-lsd does help a lot. This car tries it's hardest to prevent wheel spin, which is faster and prevents tire wear. But sometimes I want drama. Straight up feathering the throttle or flooring it seems faster than launch control.

I miss driving manual, the DSG is great, efficient, and fast but it's not the same. Maybe some aftermarket paddles will help.

So far girlfriend loves the car, she has a 19 Nissan Sentra. Her car rides nice, but it's extremely soft, numb, handles bad, and it's super underpowered. We actually get the same mpg despite the GTI being heavier and having more than double the horsepower and torque.

I also have MCAS especially after inflammatory foods and stress. T3 reverse, histamine, and other tests came back super off/super high. My thyroid and mast cells are not working correctly.

After being dismissed, gas lighted, and doubted by so many people and doctors I finally went to a LLMD, she was very confident I have Lyme and coinfections, and started treatment right away. I also got vibrant 1.0 done. She actually agreed with how I was self treating and wanted to know my knowledge.

it was migrating joint pains, muscle aches, weakness, severe fatigue, mild audio and visual hullcinating, irritability, hot flashes, pale skin, hot feeling but no fever, nerve pains, heart palpitations and problems, chest pain, anxiety, paranoia, depression, reversing progress in the gym bicycling and cardio, reduced sex drive, sensitivity to light and sound, eye floaters, difficulty sleeping, etc. It was destroying my life, relationship, and work.

I've been self treating not completely consistently but I was taking zenmen tick immune capsules, garlic and sweet wormwood tinctures, tumeric, ginger, COQ10, multivitamin, ashwagdna, creatine, cinnamon, oil of oregano, probiotics, and trying to eat healthier. Lean meats, fruits, and veggies don't bother me. The expenses really suck but it has helped.

LLMD has me on doxy 100mg x 2 daily for a month then we will reevaluate treatment. she wants me to finish my supplements and herbs then switch to her plan. I felt very bad for a week and now starting to feel better. She did reply and said that's definitely a herx reaction.
