New Shape Golf GTI

[nam]

Hi

Has anyone here got the new shape golf GTI. I had a test drive in the Automatic DSG paddle shift last week and was extremely impressed with the power delivery. The only thing is trying to get a discount from the dealers (More chances of winning the lottery )

Any one else test driven or considering buying one

I have one, its the absolute daddy. If you speak to the right people you can also get a little discount on them too. Although I got mine 6 months ago, at the peak of its success and got £500 knocked off!

Get one, you won't regret it. Especially when you wipe the smile off all the BMW drivers - priceless!

EDIT - ok before all the M3/M5 boyz start jumping up and down, by all I mean all the run of the mill 316/318/323/330/520/530 boyz

Hi,

Do you have the manual or DSG, also did you get any optional extras ?

No, actually I was suggesting that the BMW drivers are surprised they are getting beats by a VW. Including those who have spent a lot of money on their 120i etc. Every BMW driver believes he drives the 'Ultimate driving machine.'

Anyway, back on topic. Options:

Manual
MKV GTI (2006) - 5 Door ~A1 Solid BLACK ~18" ~Xenons ~Leather ~Winter Pack ~Lux Pack 2 ~RCD500 ~Centre A/R ~Highline ~Parking Sensors ~Rear Airbags

Of which the essentials must be:
~18" ~Xenons ~Centre A/R ~Highline

not worth spending extra on the diamond black metallic paint then ? , did you manage to get any discounts ?

Thanks for all the info , Just getting the final spec prepared

GTI 5 Door DSG
Diamond black,
Black Leather,
Hi-line computer
Xenons if not standard.

Now just need to find a broker who will be able to offer it for 22K or under (and a short Lead time of 8 weeks)

You are right on my MK4 it was terrible, but on the MK5 its perfect!

£ 375 for center armrest is that right
