Fun car but engine isn't reliable

This car is really fun, I love how much room there is in it, how it drives, and its power. I've had issues with tires, mainly the front ones, but this can mainly be attributed to me using high performance tires on a front direction that has a great acceleration. My issue is mainly with the engine. At 80,000 miles, the timing chain broke (yes, you heard that right). That was really expensive. Then, at 90,000 miles I started having misfires of the engine which was thought to be due to carbon buildup. In fact, a cylinder valve was burnt and the engine needed a valve job. I was hoping to drive it until 200,000 miles, and I get it serviced on a regular basis. Now, I'm not sure if I'll keep it much longer.

GIT is a Great Daily Driver that's Fun to Drive

Good gas mileage, interior cargo space, above average build quality, and so much fun to drive! With a bigger budget, I would look into other options, but the GTI feels rich with upgrades like sunroof and leather interior. Test drive a GTI vs Ford Focus ST and you'll feel the difference; GTI is best in it's class.
