Just got back from testing driving a MK7 GTI and to be honest it looked like a MK6 GTI and drove like a MK6 GTI the only difference I noticed was the engine sounded slightly louder when accelerating hard. :smiley:.I drove a 5dr manual in white without performance pack.

Will sound different as its a new engine with 8 injectors, uses 4 small ones normal running switching to 4 larger ones when more power required.

Hi Croz, it was me that met you yesterday, thanks for posting the pics, was gonna do the same but you beat me to it. The ACC sensor is missing off the front because this is not a full production model (showroom purposes only) it will return to have the sensor fitted at a later date & be sold as a demonstrator. Glad I changed mine from Tornado red to Pure white now. As someone said earlier, it shows the subtle lines down the side off better in white. The LED lights look great and the touch screen media system is superb. With both doors open it is a beast................be sure to park as far away from anyone else as possible people.!!

You know, every time I see the white, I lust. However, I have ordered the red and everyone else seems to be ordering white. I don't think I can justify the extra for what should be a standard colour, the car is now ordered and I don't want it put back any more. I've just done some data crunching on the ordered thread and here are the results: 22 Pure White, 7 Tornado Red, 7 Carbon SG, 3 Blue, 3 Black Pearl, 1 Silver. However, white looks good in the sunshine, red looks good in overcast conditions. Guess which we get more of? Red also looks good if you are a keen waxer and detailer, which I am, so I think I'll stick with the Tornado Red!  :cool:
