I thought the standard gti had 230bhp now. That advert still states 220!

Really not sure about the new GTI standard wheel. Not a great looking design and actually looks pretty small. Seems a 19" upgrade is essential.

Great photos of that black one, it looks superb. I don't know if I could live with a black car again though.

Went in for a test drive yesterday on the new DSG one and it was amazing, loved the white silver colour too.

When we started looking at the figures I got a real shock, £440pm with no negotiation available for what was pretty much a standard car, may have to start looking elsewhere!

As I said before - the Parker alloys may not be the most stylish. They are an evolution of the previous GTI alloys. Most of the GTIs will be fitted with them. As someone else pointed out - they are only available on the GTI. They are one of the things that will make the car stand out from other Golfs.

I looked at the pros and cons of upgrading the alloys. The upgrade seems purely cosmetic to me. The articles I read said that 18inch alloys were the sweet spot. Above that ride comfort, road noise, acceleration, handling are all negatively impacted.

Like them or not - they are the 'new GTI alloy'. I'm looking forward to seeing them on my new car.

Try another dealer as Drive the Deal are doing huge discounts already. And look at leasing as 2 grand down and less than £250 per month gets a standard GTI.
