      @@DeimosPC I have a MK6 GTI that I purchased with 78,000 miles two years ago and it's never had a check engine light. It now has 107,000 miles. I drive very aggressively and it's been extremely reliable requiring NO unscheduled maintenance. Not even a fuse or bulb. Just oil/fluid changes, tires, spark plugs (for APR tune) and brakes. Fully stock besides an APR tune with 260 hp, 317 lbs/ft of torque. I had concerns about VW reliability when I bought it but it's been the most reliable car I've ever owned. For perspective I've owned an '87 Corolla, '88 Honda Accord, e30, e28 and e36 BMW's, Subaru Forester XT with JDM STI VF30 turbo (ultimate sleeper 0-60 in 5.0 sec), Volvo 850 Turbo wagon, 240 DL wagon (slow AF), Ford Taurus SHO (crap), R56 MINI Cooper S and now the '10 VW GTI. I think VW/Audi solved their reliability problems after 2008 or so.

      Oh.. I know all about the MK7 R's capabilities.
      APR's Stage 3+ kit puts damn near 500 down to the wheels. The Gen 3 EA888 TSI is easily the best engine VW has built in a LONG ass time.
      But I'm also a fan of the Focus RS. And I know you can build those up quite a bit too. Though a lot more has to be done to hand said power as the RS has a weaker head and block vs VW's.
      It still would be amazing to see.
      Plus, I doubt Moog would build the R to where you and I are talking. Granted, you can still get the R up there with just an intake, DP, tune. Which would prob be his route (2+).
