Within the past few days I sold my '14 Maxima and picked up a '19 GLI Autobahn...my first European vehicle (made in Mexico lol). I understand the powertrain is reliable, the power nearly matches my Maxima with considerably better MPG and I plan to do a stage 1 tune to bring even more. My criteria with a new vehicle was that it must have a stick...my ideal choice was an A4 quattro but those are near impossible to find with a manual. I sold my Max private party for top dollar and picked this up from a dealership below private party value, so I'm happy with the purchase! I plan to delete the red grill stripe I think, but we will see:
