VW Golf Mk7 GTD
Discussion
Lusted after a 'hot' Golf for some time - never quite got round to signing on the dotted line and dabbled in other motorised things. Yes, I know it's not a Ferrari or Porsche, but to me it is an extremely competent, good looking, all-rounder and my 'lust' standards are probably lower than yours 
Finally took delivery of a 2014 Mk7 Golf GTD on the 10th June - have just run it in and really enjoying it.

what sort of mpg are you getting do far?
Since taking delivery on June 10th I've done 1015 miles (about 2/3rds of that is above 50mph) and the computer is showing 52.2mpg overall. Now it's run in I expect that to go down a bit as I've had it in sport mode for the last 2 days Edited by Bl0at3r on Saturday 28th June 19:58
Lovely car. If I ever get sucked back into a work car scheme, this would have to be top of my list: most likeable car without silly BIK.
But very careful in choosing to drop a 3.2 V6 for a TDI though; I've done similar swaps before and been very disappointed (no matter how competent the diesel). If buying privately, you must look very closely at all costs including depreciation before declaring anything like this is cheaper to run than an R32!

It's actually Carbon Grey - but does look black in some lights (or where you butcher the photos in Lightroom )
Here's another one ....

Nice colour. Proper box. How you finding the ACC?
Hated the seats when I first saw them but they've grown on me. The rest of the interior is fantastic!
I've got a red one.
Yay - Dog dick red was my first choice, but the carbon grey was already available and I couldn't wait Hated the seats when I first saw them but they've grown on me. The rest of the interior is fantastic!

I think the seats are suitably retro and add a bit of interest to the cabin - being the same pattern as the original GTIs. I also like the modern spin on the original golf ball gear knob.
The attention to detail in and around the car is amazing - maybe this is a German car thing and not just the golf but I've always had other makes.
I absolutely love the ACC - what a fantastic evolution of the bog standard cruise control that I've had in the last few cars. Although the front assist part (which also uses the radar) has caught me out a couple of times and slammed the brakes on for me right in the wrong place!
Awesome car IMHO
