So I just got back from my dealers to sort out the finance and whatnot before picking up my GTI on Sunday. Went for regular HP instead of options - far lower charges, in 3 years it'll be done and dusted, and I know exactly where I stand month-by-month. They gave me the 3 years servicing at the reduced £199 rate still, and threw in the "gardex" pack of car-care goodies even though I'm not actually getting it applied.
Alas, I tried to resist, but I couldn't....I had to go see my car to make sure it was actually there! lol No pictures, as the car was grafted with bits of white protective plastic on parts. Also, to keep some mystique I didn't open the car and sit in it, but...
- Keyfobs are cool, but huge!
- OMG...no pictures anywhere do it justice! Absolutely stunning. Makes the BMW 1 series look like an ugly duckling!
- In the flesh, the 18" wheels are some of the nicest I've seen.
- The light clusters, both front and back, look fantastic.
- To say it's understated, it stood out like a sore thumb amongst all of the other cars in the compound.
Based purely on looks alone, I was blown away. Can't wait until Sunday morning!
