Title: GTI Printed Brochure
Post by: GTI_Redpath on 25 July 2013, 22:35
Evening,

This may be something many of you already know about or something you don't really care about but for the people who like to keep the printed version of the GTI brochure with their new car for sentimental value, this may be useful.

On the GTI's webpage on the VW site, clicking through to the 'brochure' section it says that the printed versions are not ready yet, this is a bit of a lie...

If you go on the Car Configurator and select which model you want, you can then click on the 'Order a brochure' button on the right side and you can get a printed version from there.....or just click the link below to make life easier :P

It definatly does work, got mine in the post earlier this week. Sorry if this is pointless for some but always good to keep a bit of history with the car not just a PDF file

Was going to ask my dealer for this actually or order one.

The 1997 fiat coupe turbo have, I also have the brochure and original press release, it quite cool to have that for the history of the car..

There are a few shysters on ebay that actually sell new and current brochures for £3-£5 each.  :rolleyes:

Who pays for something you can get for free?

I was a bit disappointed in it, it was only a pamphlet compared to the usual golf brochure. :huh:

Are these new?  I'm sure I got one from my local dealer about 2 months ago.

Perhaps I didn't.  It might have been the regular Golf one, although it definately had GTI and GTD in it.  There was a separate price list which was more helpful (bar the light spattering of mistakes :wink:).

There's a picture of a white GTI on the front of it.  It's solely dedicated to the Golf GTI.

And the GTD - half of the brochure dedicated to each model, you didn't look at the back half? :tongue:

Nope. No GTD at the back. White GTI on the front, 20 pages solely dedicated to the GTi. Issue date 26/3/2013 PVW731GTIFLY is the part number.

Not seen that one, but judging by the issue date it is obsolete. Back on 26th March a few specs weren't even confirmed for the UK like colour MFD screen.

It's not obsolete at all as it doesn't list the spec. The spec (as VW is wont to do) is listed in the price list. I note that if you download the current Golf brochure, that the GTI and GTD are now listed.

At least they have a sense of humour , you ask for a gtd brochure so they sent you one without it in 

Maybe they will put them in our cars when we collect them  :laugh:

Lol

Me too.  Which huge company runs out of brochures for a new launch ?!

They could have also apologized for the long lead times for the car if bothering to send a letter ?!
