Just back from test driving R and Gti PP

[p3asa]

From a paint point of view I'm looking at Reflex Silver for either so don't think it'll matter.

I'm not talking about colour, I'm meaning ordering the actual car as it says in the bulletin its the end of production in week 51.
I read that to be they are then moving on to the facelifted model only.

I can't see them continuing with the present model in only certain colours.

Ah sorry see what you mean

Reflex silver is a great choice though

Just an update to last week's disappointment in the gti. Been to drive another one this morning and it was like night and day. Today's had same 19" Santiago's as last week and also had the same pirellis too. Ride was excellent and car felt a lot perkier too, which to me proves that last weekend's one was faulty in some way. Mpg was much better too and got 40mpg at first just getting used to it and then 34mpg on a faster stretch. I'm now thinking of ordering a gti pp with dcc, tech Pack, parking Pack and possibly high beam assist. Was also set for reflex silver but was quite taken with the pure white demo on the 19s. Gone off limestone, don't want carbon, don't want red or black which leaves silver in either reflex or Tungsten or white. Oh and need to find a good deal too. Anyone bought through drive the deal?

Out of the three colours you mention, I'd go for Tungsten. I've seen a GTI in that colour in the flesh and really liked it
The red PP accents really suit it.

I still like Reflex, even after 3 years...

You're not allowed to vote for the colour you've got

I have used drive the deal and have many colleagues who also have, can't rate the site highly enough. Took all the hassle out of negotiating and got a price that my local dealer wouldn't match.

Hardest part of DTD is getting a supplying dealer to give you a fair p/x without ever having seen your Tiguan - maybe a video would help, showing every inch of the car to demonstrate the condition?

Trouble is, DTD will almost certainly not disclose the supplying dealership's identity until you have dropped a non-returnable deposit with DTD.

[fredgroves]

Don't mess with supplying dealer tradeins, either sell it yourself privately or if its a newish car, try one of the companies who buy cars (I don't mean the obvious idiots).

I think you'll find you get a better deal with less grief.
