Hi there,
I hope you might help me decide if I should buyout the lease on my 2015 Golf TDI SE Automatic that is not yet fixed, or if should I terminate the lease and take about ~$3600 from the VW TDI settlement.
The crux of the issue is - I love my TDI. I am not expert driver, but I am addicted to the torque and power; the way this car drives. If getting the fix will noticeably and negatively impact the way it drives, I'd rather turn it in and try to find another hatchback to love. (I mostly drive the car for 3-5 hour weekend getaways (~16,000 miles in 3 years). I've never driven in sport-mode using the hand paddles.)
Does anyone have experience driving a pre-fix and post-fix 2015 Golf TDI Automatic? Will I feel a big difference in less torque? The way it shifts? The acceleration at low and high-speeds? Basically, will it suck?
We got the TDI over the TSI because the TDI was such a superior drive. If the TDI fix is going to turn the driving experience into the same as a TSI, I'm out.
I called multiple dealers to find a fixed car to test drive, but as soon as these cars hit the lot they're sold.
I've tried to search the boards, but because I'm not really an expert driver, I can't tell if there have already been posts about this particular car (thank you for pointing me in the right direction if I've missed them!)
Thanks for your help. Please forgive me if this post is in the wrong place, it's my first one!
