    Aaah, agreed then, everyone should ensure their car has a mat of one type or another

    I did ask at contract negotiation time and was told I would get a full tank...I didn't.

    I'm sure if I asked for free mats they would have laughed in my face, it was hard enough getting them to give us more than $200 off RRP in the initial negotiations (Second negotiation was better once I learned about corporate discounts ). I found it weird that they didn't try and upsell us on anything like paint protection, mats, tint, etc. when we first put in our order as well...I was ready to negotiate on a good deal for mats and tint, but never got the chance.

    Now I'm tossing up whether to get carpet or rubber mats for the tiggy off ebay (in the meantime it is scotch guarded and I give it a quick suck with the dyson every time it gets crap in it). Shame we don't have a "Dermot" in Canberra giving away dealer logo'd mats

    Plus my workmate who just bought a white TSI keeps telling me "You should have got it from Gerald Slaven" just because he knows it riles me up He did share some of his free wine though

    If you are going to get the dealer to provide free mats, I'd recommend the OEM rubber ones. They are better at protecting the carpet underneath and don't wear as fast as the embroided ones.

    Why floor mats?
    (Apart from cut price car freebies)
    Seriously folks, bought 'trimable' floor mats from Aldi.
    Then (apart from in drivers area) purchased seperate small carpets
    (see your local variety store)
    NOW, I laid rubber floor mats, followed by carpet, on floor.
    Result, much less noise reflected from road surface!
    PLus, apart from "No prestige logo" still looks good.

    +1. Was a pleasure to purchase a car from Phillip at Gerald Slaven. I also received a bottle of wine which i didn't expect at all and full tank of fuel. Also got USB+iPod cables. Highly recommended.

    The GTI comes with standard floor mats, but something like that shouldn't be too hard to negotiate when closing the deal. I did so on a Honda in the past and they fit much better than cheapies.

    Cheap mats are too dangerous. Ask this rocket scientist what he thinks of them.




    (chase weir: the floor mats made the car go fast and out of control)

    Yeah i can see some household mats with no grip getting stuck under the pedals because you wanted to save $100.

    LOL, Yeah I know...if only I could go back in time to January 23 Won't be buying a new car for a while, the tiggy has been the culmination of 5 years of saving and a LOT of car research. Hopefully when it is time to replace it you will be selling hover cars, I wan't a hover car real bad...or an Audi R8


    Edit: just thought I would add, free stickers aren't the only thing they are giving away. We got an invoice from sunway insurance which they also signed us up to for free...even though I was quite clear that I was organising my own insurance with QBE when we picked the car up. Seems they were really keen to get that kick back from sunway and decided to ignore me and sign us up anyway.
