GTI Virgin
« on: 08 April 2008, 12:19 »
Hi everyone.

Nice to be here; I am just purchasing my first ever Golf GTI 3 dr - a new one (Mk 5?).

I am really looking forward to it, having had a Mercedes C Class Coupe and being horrified at my continual shelling out of huge amounts of money on servicing etc, and also a warning light that kept coming on!

Anything specific I should know before I take delivery at the end of this month?

Thank you for all your kind words, I think I am going to like it here.  :wink:

I have gone for Black and as for spec, it is a pretty basic 200bhp FSI with a DSG auto box. I haven't gone for any of the bolt-on extras as I think there is enough for me at the moment!

Look forward to chatting with you all soon.

Will check out the delivery section of the forum and don't worry Rosie, I hadn't assumed that all GTI owners were guys. I wouldn't be so presumptious!
