You guys are hyper sensitive. I never said the Mk7 GTI was a bad car. I think it is a very good car, but it is certainly not the great car I expected it to be.

I don't mind one bit if you think the BMW F30 is ugly, drives like a sack of potatoes, etc, etc. I accept your views and take it on the chin and with a pinch of salt as you should my take on the Mk 7 GTI if you are solidly certain of your selected purchase. Also, there is no need to be abusive. It just shows I've struck a nerve of doubt which was certainly not my intention.

At the end of the day it is what you like that counts. After all it is only a car, a heap of depreciating metal, albeit an expensive one, which you'll replace as soon as something newer and better comes along much as you would with a smartphone.

Enjoy your very good Mk7 GTIs.

I'm not being abusive either. I'm just bored of reading about your 330d. Its not a ferrari, its a mid range 3 series (in fact in the range of bmw's available its not even mid range as its just above the poor man's bmw the 1 series).

You can have your opinion about the GTI, after all even a fool is entitled to an opinion.

You were not being abusive, but might have thought it! Someone else was, but I can't be bothered to check. I put it down to a passionate response.

I post on this forum at times because I am still very passionate about the iconic VW Golf GTI brand. I care about how this car evolves and express a point of view. I expect great things from every new GTI model. Maybe I expect too much. Whether you agree with what I express or not is a matter that is up for discussion. That's fine. But just because you don't agree with what I post does not mean it is a wind up. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I hope this answers your question. All the best when your new car arrives.

Can anyone explain to me what "reps car" means?  Sadly I find myself ignorant yet again. :sad:

It used to refer to Mondeo's and Vectra's when sales reps used to blast up and down the motorway but times have changed! Audi's and BMW's are rep fodder these days.. ;D

Im sure the mk7 GTI and GTD will have lots and lots of reps and company car owners. The same as the 6 and 5 did before it.
Its why I personally think there should be a law past that any company car HAS to be sign written to show its a company car.
Also cars on contracts should be labeled as such etc etc.
