Hi Guys, I'm new to any forum, I'm just completing form for the GTD, I've gone for a Carbon grey, heated seats, and sat nav. what you reckon guys? and what's the difference between composition sound system and Dynaudio?
Am well excited, could you guys give me feedback ASAP,
Regards
Nav

Hi Nav, ive got a gti in pure white - love the heated seats (never had them in a car before), find the sat nav a bit disappointing but that's only due to it not knowing some of the postcodes ive typed in (prob needs an update). The map itself is ok, not spectacular but not rubbish.
I think the Dynaudio includes some sort of bass woofer loudener or something. Not specced that on mine.
Ive seen a carbon grey and it looks lovely.
-
I always though that Carbon Grey could look very dull in anything other than bright sunlight. Then it needs to be spotlessly clean.
White looks good, but I still prefer Tornado Red.
-
Gone for DPB myself, not a colour I would have chosen if I went for a factory order, (got one that was already in the UK) but have to say it's really grown on me and looks very smart indeed (as long as it's clean!). Looks especially good in contrast with the bright white LED DRLs. Love it. Would definitely choose again!
Oh, and composition media only refers to the head unit. Dynaudio is the sound upgrade, which includes a 10 channel amplifier, subwoofer, and upgraded speakers. I have it specced and once the EQ is setup it's crystal clear at all volume levels and brings the best out of good music. Wouldn't be without it. It's not just a sub in the boot to impress the kids in the car park with! :P
-
Thank you so much guys, I test drove a white 1 other day, looks really good but white everyone's got, want to look a bit different, it was between Dynaudio and heated seats, gone for heated seats, it's very useful in the cold weather. Probably the standard sound system should be good, i love my music tho ha :cool:
-
I went for common white and so far am delighted with how it looks, so bright and shiny. Only got it on Friday mind.
-
test drove a white, looks very nice, but gotta keep it very very clean which I assume you will, enjoy your ride :wink:
-
I've gone for a Carbon grey
Great call...
-

Not such a good call... you won't need heated seat unless you have leather...

I can assure you that they'll still get used extensively! I use them every morning, bloody brilliant, just as good with cloth. :)
-
Heated seat are very useful, very cozy
-
I couldn't live without my heated seats. My missus has them with cloth interior and I personally prefer it. The leather gets too hot, whereas the cloth are just right.
I'm aware the settings can be changed. :smiley:
-
I've put an order in for carbon grey, the funny thing is am still debating in my head, white? or Carbon grey....
-
Maybe Limestone Grey :whistle::

Nice, but it's either white or carbon grey for me. I've gone for carbon grey but Mrs prefers white.
Gotta keep the Mrs happy, but not in this deparment :cool:

Or maybe Tungsten Silver :whistle::

All first sliver pics I've seen, maybe like some slightly more than others but they all look good :)
-
Oh mummy those limestone grey pics looked stunning...
-
How do you put post pictures?
-
I think photos have to be linked to a host site here rather than uploaded direct.
-
You can upload photos to a free photo hosting website, such as Flickr and Photobucket, and then post the direct .jpg link with [img] <direct link here> [/ img] surrounding it.
Easy peasy!
-
I really like the Limestone on the GTD.
I only ever saw it on a lower spec model and wasn't impressed but think it looks great on the GTD and definitely would have considered had I seen a demo...
Nav; Good choice on CSG! Here is a link to mine if you've not seen too many in this colour. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=254838.1400
-
CSG is the 1, it looks much more classy, I was gonna buy a Audi A3 S line, but the GTD looks manly and much more of a thrill. I hope am right.
-
My two pennies worth...go for PW and add Dynaudio keeping the heated seats....both options are fantastic, especially if you like your music as stated (that's from the Dynaudio of course not the seats) :laugh:
-
Is there a real big difference to the normal sound and Dynaudio? and Pure White is free ain't it
-

O yes it is. Go for Dynaudio! :cool:
-
PW is £255
-
Listen guys, I'm confused, I'm getting confused by every hour lol.
Right I've sent my order form in, which I can change as I need to send my insurance papers tomorrow, Right! Who reckons Pure White GTD over Carbon Grey? it's carbon grey, heated seats and NAV or Pure White, heated seats, NAV and Dynaudio.... Please help, I seen a carbon grey GTi in showroom and it looked really classy, looks different on the road, and looks like a beast, and the White is very common, most drivers round my end have got white Audi's BMW's, what you think guys?
I'd take both the Dynaudio and Carbon grey, but financially can only choose 1... Common guys need help ASAP, all views welcome.
Thanks guys
-
When it comes down to it, both will look great. Colour is entirely down to opinion, so I wouldn't hold too much water to what others think (no offence to anyone).
If audio is more important to you then go for the PW. If you prefer the grey, go for that.
-
Do you like both colours equally or are you trading off a little for the extra spec of the white? If white is common your way (its evoque's and R rover sports with orange ladies round here!) I would go carbon.
-
You know what guys, I'm just gonna not bother and go for CARBON and DYNAUDIO.
What finance deals are people getting on the GTD?
-
I ordered white and then changed to carbon grey!
Finance - if you use VWFS its around 6% APR - they have an on-line finance tool that allows you to tailor your requirements and create your own quotes so I will be going with them again.

The on-line calculator only works out figures on the full retail price of the car.
If you have to go down the finance route, I wouldn't get too hung up on interest rates as a good discount off the list price could outweigh a percent or two of interest. Equally it can also work the other way round. You need to add up every element, px value, cash deposit, all the monthlies added up and final payment to get the total amount that will leave your pocket, then compare it against other deals doing the same thing.
-
Might be stating the obvious here but,
If you want to work out the finance on a discounted price, then simply pop in the amount of discount in the deposit section (on top of your own deposit). I did this and the quote form the dealer on order day was within pennies of the online calculator.
What is a bigger issue with the online calculator is the length of time it takes to get the car. The quote you get on order day is only valid for a certain period (30 or 90 days?), which will pretty much be way less than the actual delivery time. Very strange way to run a business though, enticing customers in with attractive finance offers, only for them not to be valid at the point the car is delivered !

You can do that, but you won't know how much discount you can get until you are sat across the desk from the salesman. The best deal you will get will be there and then after you have nailed him to the table. If you go away to think about it, it's much easier for him to say no over the phone when you try to chip him a bit more.

Not always true.
In my circumstance I knew I was getting 12% from the local dealer. But, ofcourse everyone will and can have a different way of doing business ;)
-
The on-line calculator only works out figures on the full retail price of the car.
As said above - you just add the discount you got (£4k in my case) to the deposit. You can get to the calculator either after going through the co9nfigurator (which adds options) or straigt to it here https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/businessFinanceCalculator/generateDefaultCalculation?modelId=1262
This will only give list prices without options but again you simply adjust the deposit sum to reflect what you have agreed to pay for the car.
-
I think so long as you have a finance quote saved by the dealer they will stand over it. I was discussing end of Dec and then ordered car early Jan by which time the rate went up. They had saved a 3 yr quote but not 4 which I wanted to go for at the lower rate, they called VW Finance and got the green light to go for it. Also have done the same with an Audi which will be a few months from order to delivery.
