I had my windshield replaced about 6 months ago with safelite and I did it all through the geico app. They used Pilkington glass which while not oem is great quality.
Either way an engine flush couldn't hurt, i've had good success (hasn't blown up my 1.8t and slowed consumption down) using liquimoly.
You’d be fine with just winters. Source: daily a VW Mk7 GTI with winters in northern BC. But, AWD with snow tires and better ground clearance is much better.
My friend has a 2.0 mk6 Jetta and it’s been the most reliable car he’s ever owned. It’s only needed a timing belt and basic maintenance items and he’s had it for almost 3 years and around 100,000 km added. It’s seen multiple cross border road trips without skipping a beat, and It’ll likely outlive him

Akebono Euro Ceramics are my pad of choice, put some on our 2023 to stop it from grinding
Diesels have better economy and decent torque, but I don't like the kle-kle-kle and shaking like a crackhead. Also, they cost more to maintain so fuel economy goes out the window at certain point. Glow plugs, DPF, EGR, injectors seizing up are pretty expensive things to change.
You should not drive them short distances, they like getting hot and ready for chugging along for hours, otherwise the parts mentioned gets clogged up quicker.
I had a tdi and it was great getting 40 miles on a tank no matter how fast I drove, I did not delete anything , I would not do that and even if I wanted to dot my state would catch me, fuel is generally but not always more expensive, up there with premium , the big gotcha with my two wa snot that they cheated but the high pressure fuel pump was a ticking time bomb, I went through 3 of them, and they were fuc\\*\\*\\* expensive, like several thousands dollars to replace, I bought my car brand new and took care of it , the first one dies around 65,000 miles or about 2 years of driving, vw paid for that , the shop bill was 5 k, the best one dies on my about 120,000 miles and that was on my dime, cost me about 1800 and that was with a donated HPFP and not draining the gas tank 100 %. which is not the proper way to replace it but at that point VW was already buying mine back and I just had to get it there in running condition. I also would have needed a new DPF which VW wanted about 2 k to replace.
4 aftermarket alternators in a Volkswagen Vanagon… after the last shit the bed i insisted on a factory one. That solved the charging system issue.
Im in Alberta. The rear parking sensors are definitely giving me a bit of trouble and will emergency brake for no reason.
