The "Cadiz" alloys aren't great, but the colour is fantastic.

I think I'd probably last a day or so before I wrapped it around a lamppost.

I find myself wanting one of these even though I'm more than happy with the Mk6. Everything seems slightly better, from weight reduction to better quality optional Nappa leather (in Germany at least). Blue 3 door with the Pretoria wheels for me - just need to convice Mrs Mac...

Looks lovely. Much nicer than the new GTI IMO.

Mmmm don't think you will find many agreeing about that. Nicer? perhaps, but much nicer, I don't think so

I do.

It sits lower, larger wheels, skirts, lovely.  Oh, then we have the extra power, 300BHP.  Future Retune .... oh yes. 

Its a Winner.  Glad I waited.

Glad you like a wait cause you're looking at least a year before you get your hands on one.

Nice find, looks fantastic - especially with those upgraded wheels. Lose the pano roof though.

Good to see another reviewer doing his homework: "the GTI has 200bhp"  :rolleyes:

Technically it does.  Just there are a few more hiding out there he didn't mention. :whistle:

Oh yeah, this I want! :drool: Too bad I already have a blue car on order.

Whats the USA spec Mk7 GTI make? As the mk6 usa model was less than the europe one due to fuel and emissions in the usa.
