« on: 05 October 2018, 19:32 »
First : I’ve never yet seen one on the road...any idea how many have been registered?
Second : despite the forthcoming Mk8 I have just ordered a 7.5 Performance DSG for March 19 delivery.......anyone else in the same boat?

Yep - 7.5s (with the digital dash and other upgrades) started from 17 plates, with the PP version from 67 plates I think

I agonised whether to wait for Mk8 but wore myself out pondering the unknown ( in more than a few respects!).

See loads of standard GTi's, but surprisingly few PP's.

It's probably because to the majority of the hot hatch buying public, it's all about getting the badge for the least amount of money.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Recent Autocar article suggests Mk8 GTI available 2020 so plus order time and low discounts reassures me that Mar 19 car will be good.
I wonder when factory order book for 7.5 will finally close?
