Hi, I went for the Kings Red which I pick up on Monday 🙂 I must have looked at a thousand photos and videos before choosing a colour. Although I haven’t seen it in the flesh the guys at the dealership thought it looked fantastic - but I suppose they would say that 😉 I will let you know what I think next week but just for context I’m not a huge fan of tornado. So as fredgroves says it’s personal opinion. Anyway, 2 more sleeps!

Yea the moonstone grey looks great also, but I think am now swaying more towards Dolphin Grey, but I will see both KR and the grey in the flesh before deciding.

Yea I am the same I have seen so many pics of Kings Red but haven’t seen it in the flesh yet and I thought that would be the colour I will go for next year when starting my new lease. Be interesting to hear your thoughts after picking yours up on Monday. Get a few pics up when you get it.

BTW from having seen all of the colours in the flesh (when my dealer got all of the new GTI stock), my next choice would have been reflex silver. Looks really great with the black accents.

Hi,

Picked up my KR GTI on Monday and (to my relief) I love the colour. When I picked it up at the dealership a customer of theirs had seen mine and changed their GTD order to KR. It definitely stands out 😉. My wife describes the car as erring on the side classy rather than sporty. Either way I would choose KR again. I have also seen black which also looks good.

This is my first GTI and I can see what all the fuss is about!

I think it’s a great colour. Different to the old tornado, which is probably why some are unsure about it, but it still suits a golf gti perfectly well imho. I think your wife sums it up.
Looks great, hope you enjoy it.
