South Hereford Garages have a Blue GTI, 5 Door, Manual, 18", Discover Pro Nav, Heated Seats. 352 miles on the clock when I took it out.

They rung me a week or so ago to say it was on the road. I've not had reason to go down that way to have a look yet. What time do you think you might be there James? I might pop down and have a look with you.


I'll be working down there, i'd like to pop in during my lunch break so about 12-12:30?

I've got a meeting at Shrewsbury at 1:00, so I'd be hard pushed to get there in that time.

White 3dr GTI in Cameron's, Perth. ACC & Media & Winter Pack.
Had a look but not a drive today - going to do a back to back when GTD demo is in too.
Front "radar" is not standard so unblemished honeycomb grill.
Prefer my mk6 steering wheel and seat side bolsters.
A few GTI orders already taken and lots of people waiting for GTD drive.......maybe the build times will get longer when customers make up their minds between the two!!!!!!

Popped into South Hereford today, unfortunately the director was just about to take it out so i couldn't get in it >:( 


The blue looks OK imo but i don't think it's a shade i'd go for personally, the dimensions of the car seem quite a lot different to my mk6 even though there is only an inch or two in it the rear looks quite a bit smaller, lower and wider but still somehow smaller?? ???


The Austin wheels have a few more nooks and crannies than the Monzas, so will need a little bit more attention to keep clean but are definately attractive.


It looked like the under side of the rear spoiler was actually blue rather than black as Bear mentioned on the car he saw which is a bit strange!


Overall i'm ashamed to say it didn't really blow me away but i'm pretty sure thats down to the colour as i didn't particularly like it and i think it will look a whole lot better in lighter colours like white, red, silver etc.


Anyway, i took a few phone pics just before the gaffer took it out:

If you did you may have a felt a little better ignoring the colour. I can imagine its difficult for guys who are coming from Mk6 to the Mk7 as it may not seem much different. It's almost like someone moving from the iPhone 4 to the 5. For me it's going to be a totally new experience and I personally can't wait

Nice pics Jimble, but overall I have to agree on the colour.  It's probably the one I dislike the most, and for me doesn't suit the car at all.  Put one in white next to it and it's literally like night and day.

This was my thought too, i prefered the red one i saw at the Gadget show live but i still think white or silver is the way to go with this cars lines.

I'm glad it's not just me that was a bit underwhelmed with the mk7 GTI in the flesh.

Maybe it's just that Steel Grey mk6's look so awesome all else is an anticlimax?!!   :lipsrsealed:
