MK7 GTI Facelift

[mcmaddy]

Better spec is subjective though. And I certainly don't think it will hold and more value than the current model although the new model will cost you more so it may be worth what the increase is. You're not getting anything major the current golf doesn't already have and the new updated version will cost you more.

Quite like the GTI with way red stripes integrate and does that mean they are getting twin LED from them photos? If so, think the GTI has taken a nice lift all around though extra power has me thinking even more tramping in wet

Tailpipes not integrated either as a relief

Not sure about the wheels?

Notice the interior is not touch less yet so must be for MK 8

Still need to see the full range and options but dislike the standard golf with integrated tail pipes but like the GTI

Now we're talking. As soon as the golf r is announced i'll be placing my order.

Yep, really like the new front end on the GTI, the red stripe looks right now and with twin DRL as a bonus

only thing would concern me is tramping at 247 BHP as my previous GTD at measly 184 BHP tramped

No mention of R and GTD which is strange

Seems to be fairly low key overall. The new GTI headlights look good.

I'd personally be disappointed if I'd only very recently got one and just missed out. I'd have to have the latest and "greatest".

I wonder if the little power hike on the PP is just a software change and if it uses the same clutch as what's in now?

Interesting that the R and GTD have been held back to December as be easy to follow the Audi face lift and announce now if thats all that is coming

So Bi-Turbo? and given the BHP lift on the GTI, not a soft S3 10 BHP but maybe 350 BHP on the R?

Just seems strange that styling seems done and dusted and interior too, so if just standard lifts they would be announced now.

I think a lot of GTI's put out around 240 as std so maybe they've done nothing

It's getting those Audi style scrolling indicators 

"while the rear lights are LED throughout the range, equipped with scrolling ‘animated indicators’ if you’ve ticked some options boxes"

Please god I do hope my GTD that I ordered last week will not get the facelift, dealer said no so I hope they are right.

why? If I was ordering now, I would only want the new one. Basically the same car with better spec level and will hold its value a lot better -2-3 yrs time.

Because I don't like the tft screen and front bumper.
