I have just come back from a 1000-mile drive through France and I didn't see any. In fact, mine is the only MkVI GTI I've seen in person anywhere. Maybe I will have more luck on my trip over to London today?

And theres a black one around the south manchester area, saw it literally ten mins after I'd placed my order & came home with a rather large grin!
Cancelled Order

Seen 4 just yesterday!! ok 2 were at the dealers, and the other 2 were just round the corner and looked like test drives. the silver didnt really stand out much but the red was gleaming and caught everyones attention, mine especially :cool:

Have seen a red one and a silver one on the A41 near Chester, both looked good, the back looks better in real life I have to say. It was more the front that looks ordinary, just like any other golf, very had to tell a part a GTI and a standard Golf from the front from a distance.

Seen one in the outer suburbs of East Leeds in white. Very nice. That's it. Mine was the only one at the VW Festival at Harewood the other week too.

Upshot is enjoy this rarity while it lasts! In a year or so I'm sure there will be loads of Mk6 GTIs about

Mk6 Golf GTI 5dr, DBP, Monza Shadow, Xenons, ACC, RCD510, Park Assist, Camera, Lux pack.... and now bluetooth.... and now DSG!
