Finally ordered!!!
« on: 18 July 2014, 15:18 »

I've been reading and posting bits on here for the last 5 months whilst my boss sorted out my new contract hire. Well after what seems like an eternity it has finally been ordered today. All I've got to do now is wait 12-14 weeks for delivery according to the dealer. I'll wait to see what BW I get before I start getting excited. But at least it is now on a countdown. I've read with jealousy as BW8 owners onwards have posted to say they have received their cars. 

So the details. I've gone for 3 door manual in Pure White with the Performance Pack and DCC. I've then added Discover Nav (couldn't justify Pro any more than I could 5 door or DSG) and Dynaudio, High Beam Assist, Keyless Entry, Park Assist, Winter Pack and Rear View Camera.

A big thanks to so many of you on here who have helped me make my decisions through your posts. If I was going to drop anything it would've been the Park Assist and Rear Camera as I'm not sure how much I'd use them but the quotes were £6 per month difference so what the heck.

To Exonian I apologise as I also live in Exeter and I've not yet seen a white GTI or GTD (including yours) but at least yours has the different wheels on and you've had the best part of a year owning this city. Lol.

And so the wait begins......

Congrats Dave the bear!

Good choices and I deffo still think white is the best colour for a mk7 GTI!
I like your spec. I've used my park assist about three times in nine months but I'm still glad I specced it. The rear camera is surprisingly useful and the nav is 'ok'.

I think I'd have gone for a very similar spec to yours if I did more miles and therefore would have got better value out of them.
If you want a run out in mine or a general look over it without a salesman hanging over you just give me a shout!

Cheers Exonian

I'm away on holiday over the next couple of weeks but will get I touch with you when I'm back. Would be great to get a look at one without the salesman as you say.
