Saw a white mark VII GTI approaching M50 near Dublin. First one I've seen on Irish roads. Looked fantastic. Colour was great. It really stood out. Austin's looked amazing on the move. Wasn't you was it JoeGTI ??
Haha yes it could have been me! I was in Dublin for the weekend, I would have been on the M50 around 2:30pm...
It was my first extended spin in the car, it was great!
2 slight negatives though after 2 weeks ownership. The steering wheel doesn't feel as nice or as comfortable in the hand as the MK6. It really could be slightly chunkier, but it's a minor quibble. The cruise buttons on the wheel rather than on the stalk is much better though.
Secondly, I'm slightly disappointed with the seats. I don't think they hug you as much as the mk5/6 seats. I think the seat base and back are wider. I'm a smallish frame so I find that the bolsters aren't gripping me as much as the mk6 seats did. They do look super though!
Finally, I think there's a lot of tyre roar at motorway speeds. Definitely seems more pronounced than my old Gtd. I'm on Bridgestones.
