Ok own up..

Who else has been for a cruise past their local dealer to catch another peak at their demo GTi just to tide you over during the wait ?!

Went out on my bike this morning and then took a detour past my dealer, and there was the white demo parked up, couldn't resist taking another good look round it

Worse, I actually went out on test drive even though I have a vehicle on order

[Hawaii-Five-O]

Guilty as charged

Been to two separate dealers. One to look/sit in, the other for a test drive. Wicked!

The waiting is horrid

[Gryzor]

Damn that white looks sooooo good!

Nope, the only time I've seen a demo GTI is when I had to pop into my dealer last week to drop off some paperwork.  Didn't have time to take a good look around it, and won't be going out of my way to have another gander!  I think I've seen enough pictures and read enough reviews to know it's awesome, and gawping at one will only make the waiting even worse than it already is!  The next time I get up-close and personal to a GTI will be mine when I go to collect it

You're a barrel of laughs aren't you Gryzor

I drive past the dealer almost everyday as its right next to work.  Too many cars parked so hard to see it though.

This is the correct answer

I have passed the dealership i bought from to see if its on display a few times but for some reason they keep there demo out the back

just out of curiosity did anyone else buy without test driving the car. I wouldn't feel comfortable ordering a 26k plus car without at least trying it

I bought my Mk5 GTI without a test drive, and I've done the same with the Mk7 GTI.  I had no doubts anyway, and now the reviews are out and people on here can testify to the quality of the car and ride, no worries.  Now, if it were a cheaper car with lots of compromises, I would absolutely have test driven one to make sure I was happy, but this is all the car I want.

If you've had one before then fair enough. I'd not driven a GTI before this one. personally I prefer to base my decision on personal opinion rather than reviewers
