No I don't.

My comment was only responding to the performance figures given by pologti18t noting that the 208GTi, Mk6 Golf GTI and Subaru Forester XT all achieved identical 0-100 & 0-400m times when tested by Wheels - and that the Mk7 Golf GTI was quicker (as you'd expect). it wasn't a criticism of the Mk7 Golf. Gawd... I'm an owner of one and a real fan

$15K... please explain? 103TSI is 32K + ORC

Because 103tsi is part of the drive away deals whereas the GTI isn't

QLD Full retail at the moment
103TSI DSG: $35,490
GTI DSG: $49,142

So the difference is 13.6K

Don't order the sunroof either (on any car), but I'm sure you knew that

.

Well I fit. Had 2 inches to spare in a GTI with sunroof !!! Unfortunately all available cars are optioned with leather as well

looks like a Feb/Mar wait....

welcome to the club

this is basically what i'm waiting for 2013 Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI MY14 Direct-Shift Gearbox Cars For Sale in VIC - CarPoint Australia but my dealer didn't get one in that spec.

I saw my first one in the flesh today - somebody was giving the beans to a white manual with sunroof in the back streets of cammeray. Sounded tremendous!

I took a DSG equipped GTI for a drive today the dealer was pretty busy so unfortunately I had to go out on my own

. I was impressed by how it drove so it's definitely on the short list, taking an A250 out later in the week. The quote I was given included $2000 (inc GST) corporate discount so just under $50k with leather and driver assist he did say they weren't discounting at all for private sales so will be interested to see what deals you guys can get.
