Was looking at gti performance  got a  young girl  trying to sell me it she offered me a 5min test drive where we didn’t get out of the thirty mile per hour zone and things just went downhill from there all she and her financial man tried to do was sign me up to a pcp deal.  Ended up buying  an indium grey one with loads more spec in england

I went to a sales person who was recommended to me, I find that regardless of what dealership you go into you always have the chance of speaking to someone who is not great.

The problem is very few of the people selling these cars are actually "into" cars themselves, its simply a job to them.

And these days I just don't buy a car without at least a 24 hour test drive, didn't have a problem with this at Agnews in Mallusk.

I did it at last! After nearly a year of lurking on this forum, plenty of test drives and plenty more umming and ahhing, I brought this home earlier this week..



67 plate, 13k. Really well specced too. As well as the tungsten silver and Sevilles it has Art Velours cloth, DCC, Dynaudio, climate screen, tints, keyless, rear camera and all the lane assist gubbins.

Wasn't sure about the Seville wheels at first but they are slowly growing on me.



2017 (67) GTI PP DSG. Tungsten Silver with DCC, Art Velours, Dynaudio, Climate Screen, Tints, Keyless, Rear Camera, Lane Assist, Seville wheels.

I went with the DSG and I'm loving it so far. After nearly 20 years of driving manuals I'm done with shifting cogs.

I drove my wife’s manual Polo yesterday. Lord it was like amateur night. Forgot everything in the 6 months I’ve owned mine!!

Picked this up yesterday. 2018 GTI Performance Pack (245PS) in Indium Grey metallic with sunroof (they call it panoramic, which it ain't), Dynaudio, Art Velours interior, keyless entry and keyless go, 19" wheels, and 90% tints.

As standard this MY came with ACC and LED headlights. And the VAQ diff.

Notable omissions include DCC, adaptive LEDs, and rear camera.

It's a really fun car yet totally practical as our family shipping trolley too. Going to give it a good clean tomorrow.

Great colour choice!

Despite it being a normal sunroof from inside, I think the pan roof does look good and I'd definitely try and make sure my next car has one as like having fresh air in without having the windows down.

Thanks.

Yeah it's nice.

I'm also a big fan of the interior. As well as the fabric, the leatherette armrests and seat backs are a great addition.
