Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

Surely you can turn that feature off like I can in the Mk6?

[godzilla_110TDI]

Yes you can, in the car set up menu

How do you guys decide what colour you want on the GTI?
My current one is Carbon Steel and i kind of want something different, don't want Red, not a big fan of white so pretty much stuck on Black and Silver. Just can't decide what colour. How did you make up your choice?

Cheers

I "only" have the 103kW 1.4 TSI Highline, but love it in Tungsten Silver metallic. Really smart colour IMHO.

It was easy for us. All the black body trims stand out more on the white GTI. All the other colours well, just looked like a plain Golf.

But it really is a personal preference when choosing a colour.

Yep, I chose white too for the same reason. If my previous car was not silver I would have chosen silver. But white is just so good.

My previous mk6 Tsi was white and I'm going white again for the new gti. With the tinted windows and sunroof the contrast will look great and when clean the white sparkles! Red was also considered but would have meant a longer wait time

My previous car, a 6R Polo GTI, was also white (special order Oryx White, no less) and with the Xenons and DRLs, it looked awesome...for about 5 minutes.

It was a total pig to keep clean and drove me, who my wife insists has certain OCD tendencies, bonkers! The car only had to get a sniff of the road to look dirty.

My new Tungsten Silver Golf is a bit over a month old, has yet to be washed, yet still looks "clean".

I find my Shark Blue (light blue), even when horrendously dirty, looks clean from a few meters away.

Had a black car before, all the water spots and "swirl marks" were noticeably obvious so I ordered a GTI in white (would have went with silver but it's a bit too boring for me personally). True, white gets dirty as well but it's a different kind of dirty vs. a really dark car.
