I've been sent a few of these and apparently every time someone watches it the dealer gets an email!! Wonder how many he'll get after it being posted on here?? :laugh:

Salesmen spouting that sort of bilge is one of the reasons I really can't be doing with the whole car buying process. I've thought of many cars that I'd like to buy, but can't bring myself to go in and voluntarily listen to all that guff.

That's the beauty of buying via a broker (in addition to good levels of discount).  You don't have to listen to all the crap salesman spout.  I really can't bear it and no longer have the tolerance to sit there and suffer it, when I can get the car I want at the click of a button.

I doubt a lot of sales people actually want to do all that crap, it's probably something they've just been told to do.

I think if you go in and say what your interested in and make a point of not wanting to listen to a boring sales pitch any half decent salesman will get the jist.  :laugh: or you hope that's the case

I know it's all part of the job (worked in sales for 10 years - wine, not cars) and no doubt it actually works on a fair few people, but it's wasted on the majority of regular car forum dwellers who tend to know their stuff inside out, and that's why I can't be doing with it.

Any of us could walk in that dealership and know more about GTI's and I don't even own one.

That dealership is a few minutes from my parents house, maybe I'll pop in next time I'm up there to see the man in action for real  :grin:

The phrase 'For ya' counted = 39 times.

4.47s in the video he quotes the 'Golf ball steering wheel.  :grin:

I didn't know that the GTI had piano black trim with a carbon effect.

And, it has LED rear lights to make rear drivers aware of your braking situation - who knew  :grin:

Yes - that 'for ya' comment got very irritating in the end!

For me it's the 'auto headlights so that you don't have to worry about "other pedestrians flashing you" if you don't have your headlights on at night'. Can you disable this feature, could be entertaining......

 "other pedestrians flashing you"

Opening their coats and showing you their bits? Just because you have a GTI hilarious. It would be ok if other car drivers are flashing you.
