The GTI PP is apparently from Malta - meaning only a 2 year warranty as well (according to their sales guy I just chatted to).

In his defence he was up front about it when I asked.

I did point out that it was misleading to compare the price to a full UK spec car though.

2 year warranty - correct. Years 1 and 2 are VW Central, 3rd year is a UK network "dealership" warranty, it is a paid up 3rd year much like the extended warranties you can buy for years 4 and 5, only applicable to the country in which you bought the car. If the engine did blow up in year 3, it might be worth shipping the car back to Malta for 3rd year warranty work.

Wouldn't touch these imported cars unless they were getting sold for about £6k under list, and even then you'll be crucified if you trade these in at a VW garage.

For those who hate the red stripe through the headlamps - here's the perfect GTI for you!







It's funny how much more it looks like a MK6 GTI without the xenons

Irish GTI's had a miserable standard spec up until about 12 months ago. No xenons like in these cars and it looked "wrong"!

The GTD is a TSi in the pictures anyway.

The South African spec RHD GTi has some funny spec items missing to lessen the price. It sells well as a status symbol, spec seems irrelevant.
