Anyone got their GTD yet?

[mjh_056]

I passed a white GTD the other day on the road so only got a quick look at it.
First impressions were, that Golf looks different somehow as it was approaching but I wasn't blown away.
Which is a disappointment as I'm hoping that to be my next car.

For me that's all part of the appeal - it doesn't jump out and scream, "look at me", but it's different enough from the normal Golf.

Totally agree Gryzor but I only knew it was somehow different, my 2 teenagers who are learning my car ways and are always pointing out GTI/GTD's to me didn't even notice anything different. They thought it was a plain Golf.
Now there is understated and understated 

Maybe it wasn't an actual GTD but just had the badge on the front as now I think about it, it definitely didn't have DRL's on or they didn't stand out enough and I missed them.

Saw 2 GTD this weekend in flesh a Midnight Blue and the Pure White next day and they very much have their own presence that sets them aside

Midnight Blue was not even a colour would choose from outset but from seeing in flesh I would happily own - sat inside to and what a great place to sit

Just off the phone to VW CS - my unconfirmed BW38 has been pushed back to an unconfirmed BW39. No reason why.

Already knew it had been pushed back as tracker still showing with factory so fingers crossed it changed this weekend.

At least its not BW51 (yet!!!) and only a 1 week slip.

Thats good news!  Hope it is goes confirmed for you on Fri!  What number are we using for VW CS?  Is it the Exec one that has been bandied about?  Havent heard from my dealer and I was in a similar boat to you on unconfirmed BW38.  Thinking of giving them a ring....

I just used the contact us number on the web.
The last (and only) time I called the Exec office I got a bit of a bollocking for calling and asking how I got the number etc so I thought I'd give the other a try and got a quick answer.

Just back from test driving a 5Dr DSG GTD and all I can say is WOOOOHOOOOO!

My Mk6 GT was in for a service and just thought I'd ask when picking it up (not the dealer I've ordered with).

Had the pro nav, keyless and winter pack on it. Pro Nav is the dogs b******s but I def couldnt justify the £1800 for it. Nice extra if you can afford it. Keyless was pretty cool. Needle sweep on pressing the button was a nice touch.

Was white (think pure not Oryx) and never thought I'd like a white car but it does set off all the black accents on the car.

Must take back what I said about Agnews on another post - got a great long (1hr) test drive even though it was rush hour. Got caning it a fair few times and just love the (fake) noise in the cabin!!

After test driving a GTI a couple of weeks ago I was thinking maybe I made the wrong choice but deffo the right choice for me (GTD) jumping from my current car. Didnt notice a massive difference from GTI->GTD but I'm not a big petrol head and didnt get to hammer the GTI as much as I did the GTD.
Each to their own on what choice they make but whatever you have made you will undoubtedly enjoy it!
Big wide smile for the whole test drive!

Other pics posted by another user before so didnt get many pics (was in a rush too and iPhone was being a PITA).

Well I have had a bit of a week with VW, Just before I went on holiday I got told that my car had slipped from BW38 to 51. just what you need when you are trying to relax in the sun but all you can think of is how much is it going to cost if I ring VWCS from abroad.

When I got back I rang VWCS and got through to Ms disinterested who told me that there is no point looking into it as it will not move and its definitely BW51. So I decided to cancel, had a look round for a few cars on the internet and set off to Peterborough to have a look around (Mk6 GTI was the first on the list).

I decided to stop in at the dealer in Stamford to let him know the plan. He completely understood but had a look at the system to see what the current info is and guess what..... I'm back to BW39

So I'm not cancelling, only a few weeks left to wait.

I think VW knocked a lot of orders back to see who would cancel, now that a fair few have gone we have been reinstated (just about) so thanks Bill, enjoy your BMW.

Lets hope I stay at BW39

Bill had a GTI on order, not a GTD

Picky Picky, still one less car the factory has had to build

That's good news mate - lucky you didn't go through with it and cancel - or did you and the dealer decided to keep the order for themselves?

Why would VW knock orders back to see who would cancel? That makes no sense at all
