I have around 10,000 on mine now.
About a month ago, I installed a new belt, Dr Pulley sliders, deglazed my clutch pads, and installed a new air filter. Cleaned out the variator housing good.
After 2-3 years of ownership, I am still very pleased with my GTI300.
I love the way it pulls going up long hills.
It is like a small, black jet. It zips along fast and quiet.
