Thanks Ceefeesh/EngineCover. Your pictures when you first posted them were the first ones I had seen of a GTI with that colour, and I thought it did look good and wished I had seen them before I had put my GTD order in. I had already been told that any changes would put me to the back of the queue, so resigned myself to living with what I ordered.
When I decided to switch and saw this one available I was quite happy, the colour works well with the red highlights, and the alloys just seem to fit. It had the winter pack which I wanted, but was missing the rear view camera, but I’m aiming to get that retrofitted. I was concerned with ride comfort with 19” wheels and no DCC, but again I don’t find it too bad. Got to go a bit slower over speed bumps, but on a decent road it feels fine.
I quite like the infotainment, the digital instrument cluster and the haptic buttons, although I haven’t done any night drives yet. Normally I wouldn’t touch the temperature as I usually set and forget, but my normal temp of 20 Deg does seem to blow out quite a bit cooler than I was expecting, so have found myself moving between 20 - 22 Deg during some drives.
