MK8 latest info

So Joe Knight on twitter thinks that IQ lighting will be standard on performance Golfs based on the GTE his dealership is getting. Interesting

With it being a software activation i guess chucking it in as part of a bundled model level is cheap. I've heard rumour that nav Pro might well be standard too...

Aahh, but will they arrive with fog lights?

I kind of get the impression some would sooner they didn't this time lol

Jeez there are a lot of problems in that thread.

Some of them not unexpected tbf, but seriously.

Anyone with Mk7 lane assist switches the thing off after 5 mins or dies of bong overload.

ACC crapping out in bad weather, is not uncommon too. More so on a Mk7.5 than a Mk7 too.

Car forgetting stuff.... both of my Mk7 and Mk7.5 did/do that. ACC distance setting gets changed magically sometimes and its only me that drives the car....

And emergency braking/collision avoidance.... yes it can be triggered. In the Mk7.5 you can adjust the sensitivity.... expect you can in the mk8 too.

I saw that DTD are offering £3.2k off a dsg gti already. That’s with no options ticked at all.

Work it out and it's a round 10% discount. It's not bad but it will be better once the finance contributions start rolling in. I'm holding out to see the price of the 128ti before making my decision

Just because I hadn't seen a Mk8 GTi in blue yet

That's not a great colour for it IMHO.... bit like the black non-peformance ones, it just looks...ordinary
