I may have gone a bit further in "clean" look - I have had people ask "What is it?" - VW badges are black F & R, no "e-golf" badges anywhere. Put a rabbit next to the 'e' on back hatch (see my avatar) and de-chromed shiny trim with vinyl tape. Re-positioned a small pale purple CA HOV lane decal...

Slightly different perspective, but I have noticed (Memphis gets hot-n-humid) that my range/efficiency is best with AC set to "HI" - and it still blows *plenty* cool (even cold after a few minutes). If I have AC set lower, say to "74", there is a noticeable drop in efficiency/range. Almost same...

I wasn't trying "lab-certified" testing - back-to-back identical conditions/driving profile/road/same wheels with different tires - that is (for my view) trading accuracy for *relevance*. Yes you may argue "too many variables" - but I'm interested in my own real-world example - me driving...

Later (my 2019 for example) had boring stock chrome F & R. I blacked mine out, though might've kept stock if blue-edged originally...

Although efficiency is important, tires also provide essential traction for *everything* your vehicle does - move forward, stop, corner and also contribute to driving feel (tire flex is part of suspension) and noise (tread). My 2019 came with ~11,000mi on stock/OE Ecopias, appeared to have...

Yeah, I'm going deep into the (VW) rabbit hole! Today updates - Just got and installed low-profile rear headrests (already had removed middle). Exact-match EU/ROW versions are $200+ each, plus shipping - I ordered ebay/recycler yard MK6 "jetta" dark gray cloth units - all three $70, shipping...

I've been lurking/reading for over a year - picked up my '19 SE almost exactly a year ago, this forum (and others like MK7VW, VWVortex) have been helpful. Since I only unplugged the basic level1/granny-charger/110V cord today and didn't drive anywhere, I'll share what I've done to date: "Drive...
