MK7 GTI Facelift

Looks like I will need to look elsewhere then.

My current GTD's pcp is up beginning of May, so need to get a move on.

I was told that first deliveries are expected April/May time. However, delivery times for the performance models are likely to be longer. Check with your dealer at the beginning of February.

We are discussing a summer holiday. I said we could do a road trip in my new car (Golf GTI?). My wife just said, "you're never going to have it by then!" I hope she is wrong, but know she could be right.

Are wife's ever wrong?

I'm still undecided about the red stripes in the front lights and those rear indicators.

What the hell did he video that with, a bit square.

Not sure about the red strips in the light myself but the indicators are a nice touch. Still prefer the current R indicators though.

Ah, so they've put in a smarter foot rest now other than the current plastic one?

LHD cars have always had the nice metal one.

... frequently, but she'll never admit it

Unfortunately, it looks like she might be right, especially about the performance pack.

Found this comment on a German forum -

"I just asked again by live chat about the exact order date and received the following statement:

'Good afternoon. No, I can not give you a more detailed date. We only have the information that the Golf GTI "Performance" should appear in the second quarter of 2017.' "

It was difficult to follow the translation, but other people seem to be saying that the PP will not be available until week 9. There appears to be some speculation that it may be because of the 7-speed DSG.

So those of us in the UK wanting a PP are going to have to wait a few months longer.

Here is a video of a facelift Golf in black(?). It is supposed to be the GTI performance pack, but I can't see red brake callipers and are the front and back badges supposed to be red on the PP?

First 3 minutes are new footage -

The new lights front and back are very very cool. Love the front LEDs doubling up as the indicators.
