Test Drove the GTI

[Umai Naa!!]

I came to pretty similar conclusions as you guys.

I only got to drive them in the wet, but the handling was barely compromised at all. I gave the manual one a rather spirited launch off the line, and the thing was breaking traction at the top of third gear. Nice.

I had tyres like that once....

Dropped into the Sutherland (NSW) dealer this arvo, and they had a black, red and silver GTI on display. A red GTI was already registered, (presumably owned by one of the sales people as it had a mobile phone etc in it) and looked like he had just been given it. They did say drop back in tomorrow for the Launch (which I will do seeing as its on the way to work). There was a another red one over in their storage yard.

What actually happens at the "Launch"? And will this be at all VW outlets?

They have a Silver 5 Door DSG with 17's at the Dealer up here, with a big sticker on the door "New GTI"... can't wait to test drive it tomorrow!

I'll post when I get home. Should be at all dealers.

Hopefully none of those dodgy hessian fences have been put up. Sausage sizzles, jumping castles, test drives, quick appraisals, presentations by some big fat bloke on a PA, etc. etc.

I hate launch days. Sorry to be slightly off topic, I'm not looking forward to the NG Prado one at the Toyota dealership I work for. Think lots of 4WD bogans and wannabes.

I guess the GTI ones today will attract (hopefully) a classier crowd.

The GTI launches will attract excessively anal IT geek types! I think id prefer to hang out with bogans

No launch at our work when I popped in this morning. I don't even think the VW salesman was there.

Lol...IT geeks aren't all bad.


I'm still on Green P's so I can't test drive the new GTI. I'd like to though.
Although I'd have to say I think I'm more excited about the GTD. I wasn't too keen on the look at first but I was watching a few youtube videos this morning of it driving and its grown on me.


And yes I work in IT btw lol.
