Who's ordered one!?

The only thing I like about the MK6 is the rear exhaust being split, so one on each side.
Thats what they should have done with the MK5 IMO - which is why I like the R32 rear!
Other then that, the new shape hasnt grown on me yet, I still prefer the MK5.

Like a wheelbarrow.

In The Netherlands the new GTi VI is priced at 31650 Euro(s) = 29436.4 British Pounds

It really does say a lot regarding price etc when you have not one person in this forum has ordered one yet. I hope VW falls on their face with this one and has no choice but to lower the price.

I'm not going to order till they do. The depreciation on this car due to the crap £ is not something I'm prepared to pay for and also the overpriced extra's are a joke.

But boy do I want one.

I do quite like the look of them, and I love the interior, but its not really got anything substantial over the MK5 so I'm certainly in no hurry, and especially not at those prices.  I don't think there will be a huge take up on this one - which is good for the mk5 residual values 

Think my next car will be a MK5 R32

Ordered mine this week.  Expected delivery June (we'll see), which was a lot sooner than I anticipated.  Was told by my dealer that I was lucky to get one of the first, as supply is limited.  Apparently all dealers will be given two initial build slots in March for early June delivery.  The next available build slots won't be until May... and again it will be restricted to two slots per dealer.  I find this hard to believe.  Probably some cock and ball story to get me to sign on the dotted line.

Part-exing my current Focus ST.  Nothing wrong with the ST (in fact its probably one of the best 'all-round' cars I've owned), however I thought I would try something a little more easy on the pocket with regards to running costs.  I was barely managing 20mpg with the ST... and that was driving conservatively.  Getting 8-10K miles out of the continental sport contacts was also considered good.  Long range distance was also very limited.... You could do around 200 miles on a full tank.

I'll be sad to see the ST go..... but equally I can't wait to pick up the new GTi

Nice one, so what spec have you gone for? Fill us all in 

[Gung-Ho]

Sorry to let you all down, but all I've gone for in terms of spec are the optional 18" Shadowline Monza's (£385)... Not really my cup of tea (probably grow on me), but far better than the standard 17" (Much prefer the alloys on the MkV Edition 30m or BBS Challenge).  It will be in candy white in 5 door spec due to family commitments... again, much prefer it in 3 door guise, however if family wasn't a concern I would have bought a Scirocco or Ford Focus RS.  Just a shame they don't do a colour that is exclusive to the GTi.  White just seems a little boring and is done to death at the moment by other marques, but equally the other colour options just don't show off the car in the best light.
