6 months later!..........
I've not had much of a chance to go for a good run. 40 miles on the clock now. It got delivered with 9 miles, seems a bit high?

It's producing a very reasonable 34 mpg on country roads. (being gentle to run her in)

I'll probably get the LED rear's, but that'll be it for now. Drives like a dream!
-
Nearly went for Carbon Grey it was my second choice after seeing it in real life. Wicked enjoy.
-
nothing quite like the feeling of going to collect a GTI
having waited an eternity for it
then parting with your hard earned notes...
but in the end i think it's worth it!
seeing the shiny wheels - then you drive it home to make it 'dirty'
i hope you enjoy it
it looks really good in the photos - thanks for sharing

Lovely, best colour :wink: Wouldn't it have been cheaper/simpler to order the LEDs as an option?

Man Z says "Congrats!"
I'll keep an eye out for you on the Sussex roads. There arent very many about these parts, so drive it with your head high!
:cool:

Great pics mate enjoy the car. I have a long wait for mine ahead

Hope you had a good time.
I do prefer the overall look of the GTi and its more practical boot. But most important it's superior fuel consumption makes it my preferred choice for a performance petrol car. :smiley:

How do they sound Neil?? yet to hear one :undecided:
-
Some how i notched up 44.2 MPG today getting into work (A roads). I'm taking it easy during the early phase of running in (70 miles done), but this is incredible!!!!
I take it, it'll only get better as the engine loosens up?
Who needs the GTD hey............... (heads for cover!)
-
Great car I have got the same (only 4-door)...
Treat yourself with the led-rears.....that makes it even further standing out from the mass....and remap the devil....you really end up with a affordable sportscar :cool:
Even today I shattered the dream of a "Red Pimped Loud and Big Exhaust Mazda Something" next to me at the lights....come on the driver really must like to be humiliated.... :laugh:
Now I come to think of it maybe I start a topic...ALL The Cars We Beat Today With Our (remapped or standard) GTI ......okay and R.. :cool:
-
I took my map off today.... I will NEVER do that again!! :sad:

Thats very good economy however try getting 62mpg on a A road 70 mile trip : )
I could get 44mpg red lining it in every gear.
Lovely car though mate Carbon grey is the dogs ...............
-

I did the same to mine aswell on Sunday put it back on after a few minutes : ) couldn't believe how easy it was few beeps and done.

I drove it about 30miles, what a chore that was. Felt like I was towing another car.. until I drove the VW Fox courtesy car!! :shocked: How slow and poor is that car!!

Good to remind yourself how things used to be though...
-
I kid you not I was driving a (new) loan car VW Golf 1.4 without any gadgets etc etc for a day....I really and honestly thought the car was wrong/broken down/full of faults.. :sick:
.......steering was something like... I will end up approx there........braking was like taking a gamble....hitting the gas is waiting for something, that actually will never happen.....it makes you realise what a beauty of engineering the GTI is... :cool:

That car is a laughing stock of VW, its every salesmans nightmare to be given the fox demo to take home. It is a really cheap new car though, brandnew we are doing them with metallic paint for £6500! It does what people want it to do get them there dry but late and in as little style as possible.

Worse thing was no air con... I dont use it in mine but the heat thaat engine develops had me cooking in there!!
-
A fox with aircon is a rare luxury motor, you have more chance of getting a tug off the pope with elvis holding your coat than finding one with a/c as its pretty much a £1000 option.

I helped my pretty neighbour park her brand new Tdi.
I thought the steering was disconnected from the wheels, the clutch had seen better days - worn like an old whore, etc etc. It was awful. I did not tell her what I felt, being a gentleman and all that. I think my expression said it all. Then she wanted to try mine. I very politely declined and suggested it was too powerful for her. :evil:
Now I wonder what the re-map will be like .... hmmmm :grin:

Didn't hear the standard one but Mr.P took the remapped one down the strip and tbh i couldn't hear it ? think it could be electric :grin: :grin:I took my map off today.... I will NEVER do that again!! :sad:
:grin:
Good to remind yourself how things used to be though...
Surprising how you get use to the power :rolleyes:
Does it feel smoother now Gilly after the service :smiley:
-
Yes pal... much smoother. I think it really needed that service. Had the oil run out on me not so long ago on a long trip down south, so I am quite sure that service was well over due despite what the mfd tells you.
As for taking the map off.... the most suprising thing is the throttle response. :sad:
-
Now I wonder what the re-map will be like .... hmmmm :grin:
.............may I suggest it is too powerful for you :laugh:

Probably not as you don't know me. :tongue:
-
....get that remap.....money well spent and you can impress your neighbour... :laugh:

I say dont bother with the re-map, fast enough IMO save your warrenty!! :cool:

At present I agree. It is fast enough for me and as I drive 99% of the time in Central London, a re-map would be an expensive waste especially wrt to warranty issues :smiley:
So for now, for me, there is enough lead in Wolfgang's pencil! :laugh:
