Noise:
Ride comfort:

the comfort quiet vibe of the Toyo Proxes but want to try something different in the same price range, the Continental TrueContact Tour is honestly one of the best upgrades you can make for a Golf 4 TDI. It rides smoother than the Toyos, has way better wet grip (big deal for lighter hatchbacks), and the tread life is noticeably longer.

Pros: smoother ride, better wet grip

MICHELIN › Tires

Grip:

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.

Pros: confident winter driving

Grip:

I got new Barums for this winter and they’re doing absolutely fine (also on a Golf). Recently done 110 on snowed highway while everyone else was in the right lane doing like 80 and they felt perfectly stable. On wet road they also seem to do well.

Pros: perfectly stable, do well

OEM Volkswagen › Water pump

I actually just changed the pump on my 2018. With the pump/thermostat assembly, and a collection of specific tools, it cost me ~$900. I was quoted 2k by a dealer so I saved a good chunk of change. All-in-all the job is straightforward, save plenty of headache with disconnecting hoses and wire clips.

Pros: straightforward job

Cons: disconnecting hoses, wire clips

OEM Volkswagen › Glow plug

Cold start:

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.

Pros: better economy, decent torque

Cons: expensive to maintain

Pirelli › Tires

Grip:

While braking on the big straight away, every single time I was sliding, ABS kicked on, and I had to counter steer, these tires are awful and got scrubbed hard. Imo I was not overdriving though, I didn't skid much, where I did, it was very brief.

Cons: sliding during braking, awful performance
