now at 2500 miles and the horn has stopped working (well half of it!).  SO far had a whole new dash and a control unit for the stereo aswell as new wiper blades (all done with less than 1000 miles).  Feeling slightly unimpressed at the moment!!!

My R is on 22k and no work so far.

My GTI went back the day after delivery.....and 17 times after that and fully rejected at 29k

Nice balance 😆

GTi PP  13,000 miles 2 years old, never been back to a dealer other than service.

But its hardly many miles, we need to be 5-10 years on or rep cars before we see anything significant i guess

You should start another thread on this Tory, I'm intrigued.
There aren't many on here with GTEs and your experiences and impressions of the car would be very interesting. Particularly if you're used to a mapped GTD which is a bit of a torque monster compared to a very heavy 1.4 petrol car.

I don't think there will be many GTE owners on here as people are taking them out assuming they will get 80mpg which is the biggest lie I've ever been told. I did 10k in the GTE so have got a decent amount of knowledge of how utterly pants they are haha. I bet if I put a post up it wouldn't get any replies

Tory, it would be good to hear from an owner, albeit a disgruntled ex-owner :smiley:

I would also be interested to hear about your experience, as I was certainly considering one of these as my replacement car in about a year.

Rather than drag this too far off topic I've started a new thread: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=278363.0
I'm sure a lot of people would actually be very interested in the car and why you chose it plus all other aspects of ownership.
We have a massive demography of ownership on here and not all of us are complete petrol junkies, there are plenty of GTD owners on company car benefits who probably have had one eye on a GTE at some point.
