I got a GTI to go with my Bronco

[JT58Bronc]

So, we both love and enjoy our Bronco very much. But I drive a lot for my work commute- 80 miles round trip a day. I do drive the Bronco on an occasional Friday but due to the fuel consumption I leave it for the weekend adventures. I previously had a base VW Jetta as my daily driver and also a nice C6 Corvette as our "other" fun vehicle besides the Bronco. it got to be too many vehicles to store and I wanted a better and fun daily driver also with a manual transmission. (Since the Bronco is auto). So I picked up a new GTI Autobahn this past Saturday. Traded in the Jetta and C6 Corvette. Yes, we choose the Bronco over the C6 Corvette as our fun toy for the weekend! The GTI is so fun to drive- and every day. And it gets 35 MPG on regular 87 octane gas. The Bronco and GTI make a nice pair- both white to reflect the hot FL sun. Fun driving all week and jump in the Bronco on the weekend!

Nice! I definitely know where you're coming from. I used to have an hour drive to work. My blue Focus has 287k miles on it from my commute. Bought the RS a few years ago to have a fun car, and in case the blue one dies. Though they are all fun since they are all manual including the Bronco.

I sold a low mileage GTI to buy my Bronco and boy do I regret not simply keeping it for longer drives and commuting.

Now that looks like a fun combo of vehicles!

I do miss the rawness of the Corvette. Mine was a convertible and it has the Z51 package too. Nothing like a 400 HP huge V8 in front rumbling and ready to take off like a rocket. I could not drive it much in the summer though with the heavy rains here. I thought I would have that Corvette forever....... until the Bronco came along, LOL.

Here it is.

I sold off my '18 SE right after I reserved my Bronco, almost 3 years later still no Bronco and no GTI. Wish I would have just held onto it for my son as I had to end buying him something anyways last year. Oh, well!

To the OP, yep, a GTI is about the perfect commuter, good gas mileage and handling, fast enough to zip around the city and on the highway but low-key enough to not draw too much attention.

Tunes for MK8's are starting to come out, get you closer to that 400 hp of the Vette....

Yes, totally agree on the GTI. Wow 3 years later and no Bronco? When did you reserve?

I reserved the morning after the reveal and had to wait almost 2 years for mine. I have had it a year now, love it, probably my favorite vehicle. GTI is just OK in comparison, LOL. Hope you can finally get your Bronco- it's worth the wait!

Nice to know but I tend to keep stock. I really miss the Corvette now more than ever. The gas mileage in it on the highway is about the same as the GTI. GTI way better around town but the Corvette practically idles on the highway cruising at whatever speed you want.

Same reservation time, early morning after. I was 99d for a long time waiting on the white top and had mod top on original BD order. Currently scheduled for an HE with May build date so I'm almost there!
