Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

[SuperHans]

Good luck trying to find one in stock with options!

If you order now you might have it February.

What options? I just want a sunroof basically If VW can't give me what I want when I'm dropping ~$50K then I might have to look at some of its cousins.

Um a sunroof is an option isn't it?? You also mentioned xenons which is another option.

The first batch of GTIs had very limited options.
I ordered on the 4th October and all I wanted was xenons, driver asist and DSG and nothing was available.

So if your happy with a standard car and any colour you should get one.

If you want an A250 sport be prepared to wait 6-8 months.

I ordered the same specs about a week later from you Brendan_A. My dealer mentioned a 3-4 month wait from October (arrive Feb 2014). His manager quoted me a 5 month wait.

I have read the thread about "how to track my order".
question: when would it be a good time post-ordering to request for the VIN number/chassis number? eg. 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks after the order has been placed?

My dealer tells me my car is going into production 28th of November.

I'm expecting to get a vin later this month. I would think you should have one then too since we ordered around the same time.

I bet your looking forward to getting yours too?

Nice! I'll request it around end of November as well.

Totally looking forward to it! Working fulltime for last 3 years saved for house and now finally my dream car (6yrs since i first saw mk5 GTI). Will be awesome!

Definitely take a pic of my car once i have it! the Xenons will look breath-taking!
