hi guys just done a deal for a new golf gti 5 door dsg,white silver metallic,options -keyless entry,park assist,90% rear tints,leather Vienna,  rear camera,19 "brecia alloys.got the deal through carwow, has anyone else done a deal through carwow ? just over £5000 off (not bad)  trading in my renault clio sport trophy 66 plate. been told i am looking at the end of march 2018 to get the gti. how are you finding the golf on mpg ,my clio is a 1.6 turbo 220bhp,that does about 30-36 round town mid 40s on motorway at steady speed.

Nice motor.

Haven't used Carwow before as Drive The Deal always worked out cheaper, but that looks like a good price you're paying as long as you're getting a fair price for your trade in.

Welcome to the forum, i'm sure you'll love the car but maybe not the waiting.

Think carefully about keyless entry.

You'll get around the same mpg from the Golf. It'll be worth the wait!

Great choice of car , mine is only 2 weeks old and doing about 30 mpg. That's with my wife driving mostly so it's not getting much abuse. Will improve a bit with miles I'm sure.

Have you seen the white silver in the flesh? On paper I wanted to like it but in reality it's a very dull grey that put me right off. Pure white is a million times better looking.

[davyk31]

Great spec by the way. You will love the Brescias, they look so amazing and really suit the GTi.

Think carefully about keyless entry.

Why??

[CocoPops]

Because of the current risk of relay attacks. 

[mcmaddy]

Just buy a Faraday bag for 4 quid!! No reason to not have keyless though or get worried about it either. People wouldn't get out of bed on the morning if you weighed up every single risk that might or might not happen to you.

I’d rather push a button to unlock and turn a key to start my car rather than have to remember to put my key into a bag just to protect my car.
