To start I needed a new car that was an auto, as I'm starting a new job and have to drive through Reading at 5 o'clock and my left leg can't cope with all that clutch action crawling through traffic.
So about 4 weeks ago I was all set to buy a Polo GTI+, dealer says 42 week wait. Not a chance I'm going waiting that long. So back to the drawing board, maybe a second hand Golf GTI DSG? But I wanted a new car, the new car seed had been planted, but didn't think I could afford or justify a brand new Golf GTI.
Screw it I wanted a new Golf and always wanted a Golf GTI since I can remember.
Asked dealer how long the wait was? He said orders not going in until august, so you'll be looking at November or December for delivery, Sh!t!!!
Anything in the system without too many extras? Nope!
Tried another dealer and they said there's one in the system with a build week 25!
5dr PP DSG, Tornado Red, Art Velours, 19" I'll take it!
I should get it the week before I start my new job.
So from 20grand to 30+ in less than 10 days :grin:
-
What a great result!
@Watts will tell you that it’s the perfect colour as well 😀
-
Definitely the best colour but too many doors :grin:
-
Sounds great, I bet you can't wait to get it :grin:
-

Certainly will! Fantastic colour, so vibrant, could even cheer up Jack Dee...
Definitely the best colour but too many doors :grin:
Unfortunately that's so true...
-
I went down the exact same path with the Polo GTI+! Though mine had already been ordered :(
I got my Non PP DSG on Tuesday. Unlike you though, I ordered the correct number of doors ;)
-
Some colours actually suit a 5dr better than the 3dr.
-
Well my last 3 cars have been red.
I wasn't choosy about the doors, it was only what was available in the shortest time. But it is practical as I have a family. Wife's Fiesta Zetec S is red with 3 doors lol
If I was specking the car from factory it would've gone something like this:
Iridium grey
Art velours
DCC
Keyless
19s
July can't come quick enough :laugh:

Ignore this 3 door bullsh!t.

These things happen! :grin:

I saw an 18 plate PP 5dr in Tornado red on the weekend. Looked fantastic in the bright sunshine with the red badges and brake callipers. My GTi PP arrives in 3 weeks in Atlantic blue, just hoping it does not look too dull!
-
Atlantic blue looks good in the sun. I seen one at the weekend. 👍🏻
It was also one of the colours I said I would have to get a car that was already on order.

yeah yeah yeah.....you might notice that VW only offer (offered) their flagship GTI's (Clubsport S & TCR) in 3 Door..
They know what's best :grin: :grin: :grin:

Agreed.
If you need 5 doors then you might as well buy a Vauxhall Mokka, save ruining a perfectly good GTI :grin:

and there's me trying to be diplomatic :grin: :grin: :grin:
btw, the 3 door is 30kg lighter :grin: which means it's faster :) cue much evil laughter :)

It’s all a matter of opinion, it’s not our fault if their opinion is wrong :grin:

It all depends how chunky the driver is if you're going to throw weight into the argument :whistle:
-
this is true :grin: so 5 door GTI's should only be allowed to be sold to midgets or anorexics :grin:

If you'd bought a manual car you'd have even more to shout about :rolleyes:
-
I did buy a Non PP though....that's a lot of weight saving though :cool:
btw, I had no choice of that, Wife only did the Auto test :(
