Well guys deal is done and I’ve just ordered my GTI. This will be my first Petrol powered car in 12 years, and whilst the GTD was and still is a fabulous car, I have to admit that even at my age, I’m quite looking forward to picking her up.

Went to and fro on the options but I’ve settled on the below.

GTI 230PS 5 door
DSG
Indium Grey metallic
19” Brescia alloy wheels
Art Velours interior
Dynamic light assist with lane assist and traffic sign recognition
Dynaudio sound pack
Keyless entry
Wireless smartphone charging
Climate windscreen
Rear view camera
Dynamic Chassis control

I umm’d and arr’d about Nav Pro but after using them both and having a good play in the showroom. I decided that as nice as Nav Pro was (for me), it just wasn’t £1325 better than the standard Nav which was really nice and very responsive.

Expecting around 16-20weeks so late June / Early July which suits to be honest, so hopefully I can collect it in some decent warmer weather.

Thanks to all those that helped with the decision making process, I’m very happy.

The only things I'd change is the doors(and with it keyless) and possibly the colour(red maybe) but congratulations on your order.

Its different but you get used to it. Also, I use voice control to switch between modes anyway...
i just use the buttons on the steering wheel to change source

Didn't know you could do that!

Time to dig out the manual!

Sounds lovely, but I'd ditch the keyless! Especially living where you do in the badlands...

Awesome news... Congratulations!

If i were picking a new GTi (need to ditch my Audi first) I would have a very very similar spec to you.

I love the colour, alloys and of course the Art Velours interior.

I'm excited on your behalf...  :laugh:
