Hi everyone,
Been lurking for a while and decided to join the forum. So here goes my first post.
Back in the 80's I had two Mark II GTi's and to this day I still remember what great cars they were. So when the mark VII was announced I followed the story with interest and since I was in the market for a new car I decided to bite the bullet and order one a couple of weeks ago.
So I went for a 3 door (the only proper GTi
) manual (I'm old school) Carbon Grey Metallic (conservative, but then I'm not as young as you guys!) with the only option being standard sat nav. I thought the PP was just a marketing ploy.
BUT. I then read the reviews raving about the PP and how it's a no brainer and I just knew I would regret it forever if I didn't get it. And because I plan to keep the car for a good number of years it would be a LOT of regret.
So today I called my dealer and asked him to add it
I wanted to do it before the price increase, but then he said an interesting thing. Apparently, becasue the GTI/GTD are so new he's been told that there will not be a price increase for those two models, although the rest of the range will increase.
Will be interesting to see if that really is the case.
