Hi Guys and Girls,
Took the plunge today and order my very 1st Golf GTI. My mum who is a pensioner got a Mk 5 gti with dsg and REVO remap. She is very happy (She is a fanatic VW fan for many years) that I went for the GTI rather than a low mileage secondhand 3 series 330d coupe!
The whole sales experience been v. good! They offer me a good trade-in price and knock a few hundred quid off the GTI!
The following is my Spec.
ACC,
Luxury Pack
Sat nav
Xenon
Parking sensors
GAP insurance
Can't decide on
1. Carbon grey vs Steel grey
2. Telephone prep. ---My Sales man told me it only work with Nokia and Blackberry phone :embarassed:
I would be grateful for any advise! Thanks!

steel grey. looks absolutely stunning in my opinion. and with the additions of xenons - if youve ever seen a gti in real life with these, and you have the money to spend on them, its a no brainer - they make the car look on another level. you must have a hefty building week wait !

Heh mate got yourself a stunning sounding motor there. I'd go for carbon grey it will look well cool with the addition of the xenons.
I've got quite a few extras on mine and it's build week 28 ordered 23rd May so have a bit of a wait still on it.
Anyway for now enjoy the anticipation and don't forget to post some pics when you get it. :laugh:

The Audi dealer is a short walk from VW. There is a low mileage S3 (30miles) selling for £24000. They also offer a very good trade-in for my old car. (Same price as if I sell my car privately) Went to Vw after, told them about the S3. Not only they offer a £500 discount on the GTI, they offer more for my old car. Doesn't take me too long to make my mind up! Very happy with my decision. Told may get my car in september. Can't wait! :laugh:

Great stuff mate!! welcome to the club... like others said its a great spec and you will love it :grin:

Thanks for all your replies!
Rung up my dealer today and had changed my color from steel grey to carbon grey.
Pros: Carbon grey will match well with the red calliper and red stripe. Don't think steel grey will blend well with the black side skirts and the lower arm of the side mirrors!
Cons: Parking dent and stone chip stood out a bit more than lighter color
Need cleaning every weekend!
Will post pictures once I pick up the car and give it a good clean! :drool:
