Title: Where are all the GTI's?!
Post by: matchboy on 09 March 2010, 15:37
Having seen a good 3 or 4 when i got mine last Sept, i have now not seen one (and neither has the missus) on my/our travels for about 3 months!  where have you all gone?!  At one stage Hertfordshire was the GTI capital of England and now it appears its just me on my lonesome!!

I've only seen about six MKVI GTI's ever; two black, three white and a red one.

I've only seen one R - but that was in a VW showroom!   :drool:



EDIT in bold.

Go for a drive around the M25 - there's hundreds of Mk6's on there, including GTI's and GTD's.

I think I've only seen about 3 in newcastle  -  seen an R on the road  -  I hope it all bodes well for used prices when we come to sell but I guess that within a few months, we'll see more around  -  when the Gti
Mark V first came out, were they as rare as the Mark VI is now?

I have seen one white 5 door GTi (fabulous) and one Black 5 door GTi in London.
I have also seen one Black 3 door GTD in London.
Seen loads of the more common ones. They don't look too hot.

Interesting thing is that I have not seen another one on the road in my area since I took delivery last November.
Have seen a few GTD’s and GT’s, but another GTI, no.

How long this exclusivity lasts I don’t know.

When I went to England for 5 days earlier this month, I saw about half a dozen. Over here in France, I've seen one since I started looking last May! 99% of Golfs here are TDIs :sick:

It seems that all the GTis are still being breast fed by 'mamma' in Wolfsburg! :rolleyes:

i work at a large main dealer and we have an allocation of normally 2 per month... vw are very strict and will not allow any extra allocation. i ordered a gti in august and customer took delivery in feb!!!
there has been shortage of radios and steering wheels to add into the mix
as a dealer we are advised to quote 25 weeks for gti from vw!!!

I drove past a twin of mine this morning (3 door reflex silver) around Hemel Hempstead and then saw a 5 door parked up in a pub just outside St Albans.. Looks like Hertfordshire may be trying to recover the crown of the GTI capital of the UK again - and silver ones at that  :grin:

I've seen 2 black 5 door GTI's one with a Middlesbrough area plate and one with a Newcastle area plate and one 3 door GTD in tornado red must belong to someone who works in Homebase in Whitby cos it's there 5 days out of 7.
