First Pics of my new GTI

Lovely motor, there  .

What are the leather seats like? I've ordered them on mine but a few comments have said the leather doesn't feel quite as good to the touch as it should ?

Congrats again  !!

Yeh I'm pleased with the leather seats and the quality of them. I personally think it just adds a bit more class and a touch of luxury.

I had leather seats on my previous car which was a mk5 GT 170 DSG. I think once you've had a car with leather seats you always want the next car with fitted with them.

No not true!  I had leather in my 307 but definitely wouldn't go for VW leather, anyway the cloth on the GTI is so smart and harks back to the good old GTI of the past.

Hi Guys

Nice. Enjoy.
Love the white but prefer the red. 2 of the best colours and they don't cost extra.
Saw one in white a week ago. Looked so fabulous that I nearly changed my order.
However, the leather already looks worn! Imagine it in 1 year!
I have ordered mine in cloth. Love the tartan -- so Golf GTi.
Most of my previous cars had leather so I decided to have a change. Find cloth more comfortable.
Mine was supposed to be build week 2. Now it is build week 9.
Any later and I am going going to book myself into the Degnitas Clinic in Switzerland for assisted suicide! Sadly, this might be my last post! My family might sue VW if this happens. Good luck to them. This might expidite the build date and they will at least get the GTi ASAP !

superb looking motor - hope it drives as well as it looks, and hope you enjoy it

i really love the white, i've ordered my own in the white, but it's getting to the stage now where it seems 'too popular' and kind of loses that unique feel.... makes me almost want to choose blue or something instead
i suppose it's a good thing too, means would be easier to sell it on

MAW73 Can you help me out ...why did you choose to put a VW phonescreen on your dash.

I am asking because it looks like you have got an RNS510..
Maybe I am mistaken.

BTW my opinion ofcourse
but is it not so much nicer if you let the dealer install the VW screen on the frontside (instead on top) of your dash without the pedestal and cable....a collegue of mine has it that way and it looks more...uhh...integrated..

Seems to be quite an emotional topic. I agree the cloth has the retro look in sympathy with the original GTI but personally I think leather makes the interior look a bit classier, hence my original question. Still it would be a dull old world if we all had the same tastes...
