The wait is killing me & we're slowly running out of things to discuss so I'm proposing a hypothetical question.
Ok...so the Mk7 GTi/ GTD is pretty much perfect in every way. But if you were to change it in any way be it looks, styling, power, option availability etc etc what would you change? (I appreciate we have yet to drive it or see it in the 'flesh' so, hypothetically speaking).
I for one would have preferred an old fashioned handbrake as opposed to an electronic one. It would also have been nice to have the option of speccing the alcantara/ tartan seats. It would also have been nice to have more "trim" options to choose from & an additional less 'expensive' 18" wheel upgrade option. An oil temperature gauge would have been a nice touch as well (but not a necessity).
From a styling point of view I love the understated look of the Mk7, but not a big fan of the GTi badges on the front wings. To me they look a bit tacky. I could do without the ADC as well as it ruins the looks of the lower grille. I also wished they had been more creative with the standard Austin Wheels as they are too similar to the old Monza's. It's also a shame that the DSG shift selector looks pretty ordinary as well.. Some subtle GTi badging wouldn't have gone a miss.
I'm being very picky here and some of you may think its pretty much perfect as it is... but nonetheless it would be interesting to hear what others think.
(I appreciate some of these topics have been discussed in other posts, but I thought I would bring it under one thread)
