GTI collected! with some pics!

ADC can be properly switched off rather than off for the journey only like the engine stop-start system is. Was surprised how smooth and unobtrusive the stop-start is on a GTD DSG - was expecting a few seconds to get going - it seemed pretty much instant to get going again after a stop, can only be smoother in a manual.

Are you getting many looks when driving the new wagon about town?

I'm not sure whether this is good or bad, but I've been stopped twice in two weeks and be asked if my current Mk6 GTi is the new Golf GTi....

I'm almost certain... to the uneducated most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.  Having said that my candy white 6 still gets lots of admiring glances even four years on

The Mk6 is a cool car, as is my Mk5, which still turns a few heads.  To be honest, I actually like the fact that "to the uneducated" the difference isn't that great.  I'm only out there to please myself, nobody else.  If people know enough to appreciate the differences, that's great.  If not, they probably don't care about that type of car in the first place!

Oh great.  So the coppers are itching to pull over a new GTI to have a poke around are they?  Proper use of powers, good use of government resources and protecting civil liberties are not things they really consider important then, and can be casually ridden over on a personal whim?

Something else to look forward to eh? haha

Happened to me a few times with my first Scirocco early in 09 when they were a scarce sight on the roads. Got stopped about 6 times in the first 3 months of having it. One admitted to pulling me over just to get a better look and an opinion on it that wasn't the salesman's.

Makes me somewhat pleased there will be a few of them on the roads before I get mine!

Yes it does get a lot of looks, and its not me being big headed.

Its funny because some people you can read what they are saying with jealousy, but that's maybe to do with the area I live in, others like young teen drivers, are just straight up and want to come over and have a look.

Its the DRL's and I think the red stripe on the black pearl do it more.

However I've decided to call my car Kit from know on! I've just got to grow a few more locks and look younger to fit in, but I reckon I could solve the broken Briton issue out with the Mk7 GTi.
