white looks good in the sunshine, red looks good in overcast conditions.

Just a note... I had just cleaned my Candy White MkVI and my friend pulled his Tornado Red Up! onto the drive beside my car in the very warm, bright sunshine. The white sparkled and the red looked kind of lacklustre. Then the clouds came over and the red popped. Strange but true!

It took me 2 weeks to decide between the red & the white, the guy must have been pulling his hair out, ordered it in white, 5 days later changed to red, 4 days later changed it back to white.....................i'm happy i've made the right choice now, (even though we dont get that much sunshine in scotland) i had to make my mind up otherwise the mk 8 would be out!!!

Cool pic  :cool:

I've phoned a few other dealers around the Glasgow area and all of them have said that they don't expect a demo model for about 3-4 months so for Crow Rd to get one so early has been brilliant!

other photo's on if you tech wizards want to do your stuff.

By the way - GTD ordered in pure white with discover nav & voice activation. Also 18" Santiago Alloys, which i think is the standard for the GTD (other sources say 17" ??)

The interior looks lovely. I would probably have stumped up the £700 or so more for the alcantara/leather/tartan seats, but seeing more pictures of the cloth, I think that probably isn't worth it as the cloth is lovely.

This Tornado Red was in MK today - Colour looked a little flat in the light at the time but I was always going white anyway, so just an observation.

But a lovely car no doubt :)

Sat in an R Line leather also while there and truly liked the cloth seats more and think they both supported better from first impressions than my S Line Half leather which however are still pretty good.

One thing I feel happy on too, is choosing the 5 door. The R Line was a 5 Door and lines looks good and obviously easy to get in with loads of room back there .. Seemed much tighter to get in back of the 3 door than my present A3 which always brings a series of moans from whoever is attempting.

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.

You sure it WAS a mk7?  :whistle:
