Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

[spikeyboy22]

Hey guys, just found this in Autocar New Zealand, this may give us a idea of what a performance pack could form, when it comes here

"Other new models surfacing next year include the Passat and Golf R in the first quarter, along with the availability ofthe Performance Pack for the Golf GTI. The latter includes the electronic locking
diff, the bigger brakes, and the slight increase in power but also the adaptive dampers and xenon lights and a few other bits in a pack that is likely to retail for $5000. Considering the dampers and xenons already cost as much, it's a definite box to tick for the enthusiast. The adaptive dampers are worth it alone for they take the niggle from the low speed ride in their comfort setting and firm things up when you want to go faster, all at the touch ofa button."

I think if you could get a GTI with that option list for a nice $49k drive away it would be on the cards for my self. I have just orded a TDI Highline for my partner and will be looking for a new car for myself in the next 12ish months

The pricing on those bi-Xenons is crazy. Is that what they cost on other models?

Still think the NZ price and options list is pretty much what we will get with a simple exchange rate conversion.

Dealers will has access in the morning, so if people have a good relationship with their dealer start asking for info. Should trickle in throughout the day.
