I was meaning non GTI models.

South Hereford are supposed to be keeping me up to date, but so far, nothing.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Around June 2013 orders should open for gti and gtd. Gtd will get grey strip through front grill and lights and of course red stripe for the gti as per others mk7 gti photos posted.

Is that open June 2013 in the UK or Germany?

If so expect delivery around September?

EVO mag have a short "Driven" review of the new Mk 7 1.4 TSi GT this month.

They give it 4/5 and say :-

- bigger than a Mk 6, more cabin & boot space
- up to 100kg lighter than the Mk 6 due to lighter body structure and lighter engines
- corners very competently, less understeer and body roll & slightly more agility (lighter)
- more fun than the new Audi A3
- remains the default hatchback - far more able all rounder than a Focus or Astra
- plenty of promise for the sportier models to come
Current : Seat Cupra Lux, DSG, Magnetic Grey, Sept 2019
Gone :    Golf Mk 7 R, 5dr DSG, Pure White, March 2017
Gone :    Golf Mk 7 R, 5dr DSG, Tornado Red, March 2015
Gone :    Audi RS3, Daytona Grey, 7sp S-Tronic, Sept 2012
Gone :    Golf R, Rising Blue, 5dr DSG Mar 2010

If I was any good at English I would write long review ; ) certainly agree felt much more nimble than my 35. Had good test on track with cornering through slalom gates and braking hard whilst steering and coped extremely well. Beautifully quite and refined, love the electric handbrake and can't wait to swap mine in for mk7 GTI. I will get one ordered in the summer for when my 35 goes back in October. My only concern is that the GTI might be too refined because I love the rumble of the old engine : ) discover pro nav is awesome piece of kit and probably now just about justifiable to spend money on.

Have some allocation to use up this month so if people are considering ordering let me know and will see what deal we can come up with.
