MK7 Golf Gti

[AClownsPocket]

Have read loads of threads on those and always liked Golfs. I'm not the worlds greatest driver and I wanted something that just 'works' in most scenario's.

Its 9 months old, Tornado Red, DSG, non PP.

Picked it up yesterday and drive out to Commondale in the NY Moors. Such a blast. Its the newest thing I've ever owned and my first PCH agreement. Really happy I got one, its more than fast enough for me and it steers brilliantly. Really like the DSG, can't see me ever going back to a manual.

3 years time I trade up to an R For now, I'm happy. Apologies for the pics, it was night and I only had an iPhone.

Cheers

If I have it on a lease, I can't really fiddle with it.

Will be an R though, want to sample the 4WD.

It is a lovely place to sit inside. Everything is where I naturally expect it to be. I've heard talk about the PP kit, but this is such a good car, I'm not sure I'm missing it.

Assuming the weather holds this weekend, I may take a trip down to Hartside and see how it behaves

Resurrecting an old thread as the red one has gone and the wife got her choice of a brand new car.



We bought this last year during VW's unfortunate cheating phase so we were offered keyless entry and the winter pack at no extra cost. The wife specced a sunroof, the upgraded audio and deep pearl black paint. Its a manual and I have to say I hate it. As a DSG, its a fun hot hatch, as a manual, I just don't like it. Thankfully, she has to drive it.

I still have to clean it though . Its our first and last new car. Both of us feel uncomfortable throwing money away. Back to the 5K thread for us in the future

And yesterday, our faithful old steed went to a new owner. This car gave me so many fun memories, it was such a hoot to drive as a manual, I can't believe the 7 is so different.

Fair enough, we were happy enough with the spec. I still hate it though
