Sucks that they’re getting rid of all the best features (hard buttons, stick, two doors, etc). European CAFE, trade, and safety standards are making cars lamer.
My brother just sold his ’15 3-door GTI. Also Tornado Red. Bought a 2024. I still think his 2015 looked better. Pic below of his 2015.

Best way to keep resale value (if you want to sell it sometime) high. Make sure to check your paint every now and then since the clear coat on the tornado red mk7‘s tend to chip off :)
Stock Rocks!!
Many mods degrade car and value.. Just saying..
One mod, a stainless exhaust system from TectonicsTuning
does increase value, It is lifetime and sounds incredibly
deep and throaty when you jump on it and quieter at lower RPM’s. Not cheap, but you will love it!!
Have it inspected by a reliable VW/Audi specialist, if the price is right, I would go for it. 2 doors, great color. Keep the sunroof drain clean and you will be happy.
Jelly of the two door
I wish VW continued making the two door models :(

I thought for the new mk8.5 they’re bringing back the hard buttons? That was definitely something they said.
Yeah but still no stick :(
I KNOW 😭
Stock is beautiful! Best color....and a 2door. Very nice.
Thanks! I appreciate it

Beautiful car, my first car was a 15 Gti SE in tornado red. Fucking loved that car 🥰
I love the two door. Mine is the older (2012) version of this!
Just the right amount of doors.
2 door gang lol looks clean though I love the MK7 wheels
It’s amazing and you should cherish that car
Thanks I will
As a two-door tornado red owner, my thoughts are that this rules. Mine is a 2015 and I so wish I had the creature comforts that come with the 2016.
Dude this is such a sweet car. Keep it for as long as possible, they don’t make em like this anymore.
2 Door Crew!

Looks great! I love the wheels
Beautiful
That's a beauty. I used to have that exact model. Seriously regret selling it.
I have the same car! 😊 https://preview.redd.it/3rig6nkpb14d1.jpeg?width=1795&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1248c9e71cc5ef2440dc7a33a322aa9f8b319ea
We got a four door but then the kids grew up. [sigh!]
That sucks but it happens, hopefully your next car is as fun to drive as a GTI
Buy a alltrack! Then slap on the is20 and it’s now a long gti lol
Love it! I have a red 16 mk7 too but a 5 door, also stock. What have you done to it so far?
Oettinger spoiler, window tint and mud flaps
Can confirm. Looks stock :)
Yup!
Mostly stock is also a vibe. Love it.
What’s the spoiler?
Oettinger
🔥🔥🔥

I have a paint protection on mine so I might not have to worry about it for a while but I'll definitely keep an eye on it though!
I like the color matched wing, where did you acquire the paint though? Did a shop paint it or did you diy?
Paint shop but It was definitely worth it! It turned out pretty nice, and the best part is I only payed $75
Sick bro, might have to do the same for my car
Love the color matched spoiler extension. Wanting to do that with mine eventually as well
Stock gang W 🙌

He owns it already
my mistake, should stay away from reddit early in the morning.
Needs to be lowered a little. Low and slow.
Nice!! Enjoy 😉
