BEHOLD!!!....THE NEW GOLF GTI HAS ARRIVED IN GARAGES

[Jkctr]

Well i saw a silver 5 door the other day

Was not impressed.
Thought it looked very odd with the squashed front end and tourag rear. Identical side profile to the mk5 otherwise and the interior was near identical.

My DBP R32 looked miles better parked in front so im happy i didnt wait for the mk6 GTI 

sounded loads better as i drove off with a lot more looks

Well I'm pretty much sorted on the MKVI, it drives so well, a lot more torque low down then the MKV GTI/ED30, interior is much nicer, really like the dials & stuff & it feels even better made than the MKV.

I think the DSG spoils it so have ditched that option, I'm sure that a lot of you will have strong opinions on that, but on the plus side I have saved over £1500.

So the final spec, 3 door, Carbon Grey, Leather, Monza Shadows, Lux & Winter packs, Xenon, RCD510, Park Assist.

Met with the dealer this morning & the fact that I have been a 'loyal customer' for so long & the frequency I change cars (Usually every year) they have discounted the price too 

So overall very pleased, just gotta wait until September when it arrives & I get to drive it

Congrats on your purchase.

I had originally selected the Park Assist but then dropped it. I'm not sure how long it would take to program when I'm parking etc, I though I'd be quicker just parking it myself, especially if your in a hurry or if there's someone waiting behind you etc.

Cheers, I went for the park assist on the basis that as we wanted park sensors anyway, what's another £150 when you're spending over £25K to get something a little gimmicky......probably never use it!

I did a price comparison on drivethedeal & its saving was only £487 off list on the same spec, I have smashed that so overall very pleased.

Think so, i have passed a few of the garages in Scotland in the last week and they all seem to be silver up here with standard lights. Infact they all have exactly the same spec too!!!

Did that one have cloth or leather interior? I have yet to see a cloth interior one.

Neil, verve has a black gti with not 1 extra on it, it has the cloth seats of course. I was very surprised at how good they were and now nice they were. Made me think twice about leather.
