Something Special 35 Edition and hello
« on: 31 July 2012, 19:08 »
 :smiley:Hi to everyone

Just picked up my GTI 35th edition yesterday and the beam on my face is yet to disappear.

I've just traded in and coming over from a Scirocco GT and previously Audi S3, Audi TT Quattro Sport, A4 Turbo.

Well the edition 35 is "Something Special".

I driven all these cars and none of them are by any means bad cars but there just something soooo right about this GTI that i havent felt in the others. Sure the S3 was quicker more powerful but less engaging, the TT sport (had 2 seats and a torsion bar and run at 240bhp) was a blast but tiresome and in practicle. The A4 was tidy but lacked grunt.

Its got credibility and poise, planted,right and encouring engine note, sure footed, robust,brilliant pace sprinting and pulling from deep down, i could say more but it really is the car I've worked my way through including passage thru the brilliant if not too refined S3

I've only done 130miles in the GTI since yesterday but its got it all and i'm looking forward to it stretching it legs on roads up north.

I bought direct from the dealer so it was waaaay specced more than i would from build but price was right and its all mine now. Yipppee

Deep Black
Sat Nav RCD510
Park assist and camera
sunroof
Colour DIS
Mudflaps (fronts to be modified to fit by me)
Interior bling added (All LED's)

And lastly as I've seen on other posts while waiting the "elusive keyring" handed over without issue by salesman

This car to be a fave........... Say Aye :grin:
