Congrats! White is a classic colour on the GTI and helps to show the shape of the car.

Happy Driving!

coming from candy white mk6 myself, color choice is spot on.  won't show dirt as much as other colors but dirt is there so make sure you give it a good clean frequently

Thanks everyone, really enjoying it now. I was so used to my mk7.5 GTi, then the system change is massive. Totally used to it now. I always knock off the stop start, lane assist and another one, there’s a little sub menu from the top of the screen,knock them all off as soon as I’m in, let the oil circulate for a couple of mins before my commute

Used to get the mk7.5 to hit the 40/42mpg occasionally on my regular commute, this one’s doing 44/45 nearly every day. Apart from Saturdays. Saturdays are much more ‘spirited’ shall we say  :wink:
