New Company Car... Golf GT TSI-160

[VeeFour]

Just had my new (to me) company car delivered this morning.

Faced with the usual eco diesel that comes with the job, I asked what we had kicking around the pool which I could run to the end of the contract.

Picked up a 59 plate Golf GT 1.4 TSI-160 with DSG and a stack of options, including reverse camera, touch screen 'Dynaudio' entertainment system with bluetooth, and I think the seats with suede inserts are also an option.

Verdict after 140 miles... it's pretty quick, the 7-speed DSG is smooth as Nigel Havers (yes, I had R2 on in the car on the way home), and economy of around 40mpg isn't too shabby either.

So, I snapped a few pics... pearl black is one of my favourite VW colours, but the verdict is out on the beige interior.

I usually love beige interiors but I'd reserve them for big barges, not shopping run Golfs.

Looks like a good company hack!

I also love light interiors.

That's a nice looking car. Should be fairly economical as well as being quick enough.

Biege interior = win!

Biege for me - not a fan of black and VW go hyper on them.Evo described them as coal mine interiors.
Although beige or any light colur is no no if you have kids

I believe there was also a light grey option, which would have worked better with a black car.

It's not a big issue, and it's a very nice car to knock around in for a couple of years.

Yeah - but you might pull a babe supermodel ....who has beige interior phobia

Looks good, still the best hatchback IMO. Not sure about the interior though, black leather suits them better.

Good choice. Better than the dervs :-)

Beige is a bit iffy, my car is black with cream leather and think it looks lovely.
