Need advice on buying a GTI Ed35 From dealer new

[Jimmymature]

... and you know what happened to Citizen Kane..........

As you live in 3rd World UK which still thinks it is 1st World (though not for long anyway), where the road surfaces are as excellent as the majority of its 'educated' citizens, I would embrace the following advice:

The MOST important option which you MUST specify is ACC. Otherwise, your car will ride and feel like an truck and rattle like a kindergarten full of demented children.

Golfs with 18" diameter wheels or greater and without this option are undrivable IMO. No ACC: then you've bought yourself a shaking rattling mess.

Sorry Asker but I don't agree. The standard ride is not harsh IMO, what you've just written is how I'd describe the Audi S3 not the GTI.

I've got acc in my rocco as standard only really use it on sport for those moments when you want to be a bit lively and I want to avoid them as much as possible lol

Jim: You are right. The S3 is a great tool to relieve constipation. It's therefore not a car but a suppository.

I'm always in 'comfort' mode. My old bones can't take the shaking.
I think I've suffered serious damage from when I owned a Honda Civic Type R.

What discounts did you all get if you brought or leased a new car from vw

What discounts did you all get if you brought or leased a new car from vw

Just over 10%, and it was like drawing blood out of stone.

Bugger all, I ordered mine in the first week of release ie 23rd May 2009 so there were really no discounts being given at that time, mind you I had the car by 26th July 2009  (2 months from order to delivery)  some guys waited up to 8 months for their cars.

Slightly exaggerated there my dear Asker

Waited 3 months, got 10% off on a cancelled order.

I'm sure that even the majority of drivers that qualify for Saga insurance would disagree with that statement.
