Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

[mickbrown]

Ha I know right. But spiky boy is right we should be getting excited about the mk7 GTI. It is their flagship car after all..

Any word on the discover media pro??

I didn't ask, but they definitely have the full specs so I'd be going in or calling my dealer.

My dealer had no idea about the GTi when I last spoke to him ("Oh, they're already released in NZ?"), now he's the oracle apparently.

Stick with me... VWA decides to make sat nav standard on our GTI and ditch the standard HIDS (found in euro models) for halogens.
This means they can offer and price the main options for the GTI exactly the same as the rest of the Golf VII range - Leather, HIDs, Sunroof. GTI alone would have the option of Active Chassis Control.

Do I win?

vw head office officially replied to an email stating that there are a few out on the roads in the hands of media and staff of vw...

Mine told me his manager had forwarded the details to his email but he isnt in work until Thursday and will forward it to me then

Will probably just be the same as whats been posted so far though

Hi all - newbie here. Signed up today and been waiting all day to get approved!
I got the spec sheet from my dealer today.
MikeB was spot on with the list, except that Adaptive Chassis is standard, and the nav is Discover Media 5.8".
Options and colours are correct too.
here's a quick screenshot to back it up.

Hmm not to big on the rear view camera & Chassis control, but I guess there's not going to be much choice in the matter.

I would have put that money towards Xenon's if I were in the UK

Just a footnote for explanation of them in the appendix.

Nice to see the colour MFD made it. Shame about the discover media, its screen is the same resolution as the old RCD510, bit of a let down if you have an RNS510 in your current car... Perhaps they're still getting some of the google maps stuff and internet connectivity ready for the discover pro.
