So I've given in and swapped out!
« on: 08 January 2016, 19:41 »
Couldn't resist the good offers at the moment and the urge for more power.....just traded in the GTI after 20 months ownership and ordered a R!

5 Dr
Lapiz Blue
DSG
Pretorias
Tech Pack (Pro and dynaudio)
Keyless
Winter Pack
Sunroof
Rear View Camera

Got £1250 contribution , £1000 loyalty bonus and £2000 extra off as its the 3rd car I've bought from there dealer. Got a good price for my GTI coming out clean.

Went in for a chat , test drove a R and within 5 minutes felt the immediate difference...fatal!

Had to have it , showing as build week 10 which is first week of March!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

The GTI is a fantastic car , i have truly loved it but the power difference and delivery is massive. Cant wait!

Good for you mate.
