Rik, you lucky g*t !!
Is that from parkway, Derby ?

Whenever I take mine in for service, I have been given either a Fox, Polo or (recently) Tiguan. No Golf, and certainly no performance vehicle !

Red

:D - its a fleet Demo - its actually been driven down from Stockport this morning !
Looking at the Nav - there are addresses from all over including Wales
But if fleet only have 2 - its perhaps been around the country

Parkway are OK - I had an UP with heated seats last time :) although my mate was given a Golf Convertible when he took his in

That reminds me - his MK7 GT is having issues with its keys - they last 3 weeks and then fail, after changing the batteries 4 times, they have now ordered him replacement fob's

most dealers should offer retail guys an extended drive

My local ones offered me the GTi all afternoon - up to 5 hours in the end I took it for 3 hours which was nice to try it properly..

Wow - I thought I was fortunate getting a 45 min test drive (with salesman).

My courtesy cars are always something very basic, managed a Golf Plus once!

Gone but certainly not forgotten Candy White Scirocco 2.0 TSI
