Hi everyone
I'm Phil from Switzerland. Picked up my GTI a week ago and still no pictures. Why? Because we have the worst May since ever, only 7 minutes (!) of sun so far. Today it looks better and I may be able to get some nice pics.
My GTI has 4 doors and a manual transmission. I also went for these options:
Technology package (contains RNS 510, media-in and bluetooth)
Design package (contains 18" & leather)
Comfort package (contains parking sensors, hill holder and some nets in the boot)
power folding mirrors
Sunroof
Cruise control
Xenons, multifunction steering wheel and privacy glass is standard on Swiss GTIs.
When I picked up the GTI last Saturday there was a second GTI ready to pick up. It was united grey and I noticed some LEDs in the front grill. I asked the dealer what that is and he answered: It will be an unmarked police car! Ok then, local police has the same car as me :shocked:
I plan a road trip to some nice places in the alps like I did in 2008 with a Mk5 GTI. The pic below was taken on the famous Stelvio pass.

Beautiful car and fully loaded!
Are you sure you are in perfect Switzerland! More like a UK mess!
PS: Do you have ACC?
-
Sweet ride! enjoy :cool:
-
Car will blend perfectly against a snowy backdrop. :smiley:
-
PS: Do you have ACC?
No I don't have ACC (which is called DCC in Switzerland). The only thing I miss is a better soundsystem. Maybe I should have taken Dynaudio :undecided:
-
I don't have: (1) Sunroof, (2) Bi-Xenons, (3) Dynaudio, (4) Leather, (5) Hill Hold, (6) RNS510 + Bluetooth. Bi-Xenons and Dynaudio would have been nice.
The rest you can see from my signatrure.
Soon be getting: (1) RNS 510 + Bluetooth, (2) Rear LEDs.
Later on: (1) Re-map with Superchips Bluefin.
It's turning into a labour of love!
-
I guess that Bluefin stuff is chiptuning? Forget that in Switzerland. Increasing the HP of your car -> prison.

Nice car, seems a bit harsh to send you to prison just for remapping your car. I dread to think what happens if you were to say, steal one (electric chair?) :evil:
-
Don't worry, you won't go to prison if you remap your car. But the procedure to get all the paperwork done is ridiculously expensive, so you better buy a more powerful car in the first place.

When I called my Insurance Co Zurich about a quote for a re-map, they would not insure me and also want to charge me £40 more per year for rear LEDs! They are still pretty cheap though!
But got some excellent quotes from Admiral and Elephant through comparethemarket.com.
However, the re-map would cause major problems with VW warranty and servicing if they had any inkling that this had taken place.
So I am being 'jailed' from a re-map!

Just wait till june and then fit the rear LED lights :wink: That way they will be a standard fit on the GTI not a mod :evil:

Same over here in the Netherlands...if you want it official with all the normal benefits and conditions it is gonna cost you 3035 Euro's.!!!!! (a 4 year lease ride) l
.....if it wasn't for the dispute and the happy ending I would never have gotten it myself..... :shocked:..
....but on the other hand now that I know the effect...Sweet ol Jes&s this is something else...a Ferrari within reach.... :cool: :evil: :shocked:
-
Erik: Stop it! I am soo jealous and now I hate you.
This is driving me quite insane. I want the re-map so badly.
Mind over matter at the present. :rolleyes:

Lovely car Phil, and welcome to the forums. I drove my mk4 GTI down to Avoriaz in the Alps last year, amazing driving roads... and the scenery - Stunning.
