I ordered my GTi in 2013 and still have it.

My daily driver is a Nissan Leaf 40.

I have driven the future and will never purchase another new ICE car now, but really look forward to swapping cr@ppy Nissan build quality for an EV VW in a couple of years time (probably the Microbus version)...whilst holding on to my GTi for posterity.

Its not too surprising really if you look at most countries dates for when dino-burners will be illegal to sell...

2026 launch probably takes them to 6-8 years beyond that...

That date though is coming close, soon it will be milkfloats all round!
