GTI collected! with some pics!

With VW's known underestimation of power figures, I think the real difference could well be more than 10hp. I can't remember where I read it but I'm sure one reviewer pretty much said that the PP feels much more than 10hp more powerful than the standard car.

Car looks stunning mate!

Dave,
Can you tell me if the indicators flash in the rear clusters flash the entire width of the light clusters? I'm nearly certain they should, but having collected my GTI this evening, mine only flash on the outer part of the clusters and not on the part on the bootlid. Hopefully a minor vag com issue!
Thanks!

Ahhhh, thanks Craig, I knew it didn't look quite right! I'll have to call into them in the morning about it, hopefully it's trivial.
Aside from that, the car is the nuts!!! Love it! I'll post up more thoughts/photos later

Hi Dave,

Just a quick question

Did you find out how to turn the ADC off?

Thanks

My dealer had a demo car with ADC and they took me through all the controls before I took it for a test drive, you can disable ADC through the menu system within the instrument cluster and it had a quick access button on the indicator stalk to disable the front assist system which disables ADC, the salesman advised both methods reverts the cruise control to fixed speed.

Really is very interesting that you can disable the ADC. I wonder what the insurance implications are if heaven forbid you ever had a front end bump because you had the ADC switched off?

What were your opinions of the car on your test drive?

It was a stock 5 door manual in red, they had a carbon grey GTI in the show room without ADC but with keyless entry/start and the pro nav.

I am curious how insurance companies are going to deal with the GTIs that do not have ADC fitted.

They are a different model when you insure it "GTI Launch 220 & GTI Launch Performance 220" and different grouping.
