Although, he could be a 22 year old with lots of cash (ergo can afford a new GTI) and has worked very hard ever since leaving high school at (say) age 15, at end of school Year 10, and has squirreled his money away just for this day. We should all keep an open mind!Originally Posted by G-rig
That said, good point G-rig, people posting here probably should qualify their position if their new Golf was (or is being) purchased for them by others, e.g. parent's, great friends, etc, otherwise the stats may get a bit skew'eee.
Oh, also, the young'ins out there on this thread with new GTI's could also just have good credit rating and be happy with a big debt for a nice car. Although this would not be my idea of good money management (my opinion only), the best part of living in a free society is most are free to do as they please, as long as they don't contribute to the next GFC!

and we should also exclude all those whose parents have contributed to their education, food, clothing, upbringing etc.
If I want a GTI, what's wrong with convincing my wife that my son needs a GTI as part of his automotive education.
And what better illustration of father/son or daughter bonding than providing them with a GTI that you need to drive every so often (or every so very often) just to see that your children have not taught the DSG bad habits.
Actually, I am astounded that my wife has never ridden HER CBR 600 Honda. Maybe it was the macho leathers which I ordered in the wrong size (and they just happen to fit me perfectly) whch have discouraged her.
After all, this site is for the VW family/community, is it not?
You know you are getting old when you cancel your order for a 3.6 CC and buy an Icelandic Gray TDI CC instead.

Nothing wrong with it Highlander, but don't think it's what the thread is about and will skew the results.

Take your point but what were you really looking at. Demographics of who is DRIVING GTIs or who is PAYING for them.
If the latter, do we add to the profile such things as your car or a company car etc..
I would have thought we were more likely to be interested in who is driving GTIs and not who is paying for them (with apologies to Dermot of course).

You'll have to get the OP to clarify the objectives of the thread.
I know it would feel better to drive something you've worked for yourself, but these days wouldn't say no to a free one either (i.e work car).

I'm with G-rig on this one. I thought the intent of this thread (from the title) was who's buying a new Golf, or who owns a new Golf having already purchased it. Therefore, the intent being to get a feel of who "wants" the Golf and who are they, age, etc..
Otherwise, if you consider non-paid for drivers (such as company cars) then you'd include all company personal who drive one and that is then typically not a choice thing, but more so a matter of what the boss has offered you to drive etc..
Just my 2c worth anyway.
