VW MY16 Changes

[gwaipor]

How much should I expect to negotiate for drive away price for MY16 GTI DSG, without any additional features other than the included MY16 goodies?

Can cloth be optioned into the MY16 R? I really don't like the VW leather.

Hi, I have an MY16 Highline on order, delivery date is 27/7 (when the ship arrives, so maybe a few weeks later). So perhaps there will be plenty of stock very soon.


Very happy about the leather seats, carplay, and keyless extras.

I'm trying to find the actual updated brochure.

I think I've figured out the brochure URL - I can get older brochures to open by tweaking the number after the "rendition_" in the URL (2 is the current march my15 brochure, 1 is My14, etc - but "3" is not yet published, alas):

Did you get the current drive away deal on the MY16 or any discount

BIG improvements. All of us with the rubbish low rent touch screen will be stoked!. Cheaper too! I'm now wondering if we will be able to upgrade the head unit (way too expensive) or at least see if Apple CarPlay is a software upgrade (doubt it). Maybe it will sync with an iPhone properly again like it did in the Mk 6?? The screen and lack of tech were big reasons why I traded my Mk 6 GTI for a Merc 250 Sport instead of going to the Mk 7, but then hated the bone jarring non adjustable suspension and terrible double clutch gearbox. So I traded it 6 months later for a GTI Performance! Now love the drive again, still think the screen etc is terrible but you don't buy a car for that. As I learned the hard way. I see Xenons will be standard on the normal GTI as well. That was a reason to go for the Performance. I desperately wanted a sunroof but no and wanted a manual but no. Now I'd buy a standard GTI! The tricky Performance diff is incredible though. Off to my service dept to see what they can do. At least the voice pronunciation has been significantly improved at my first service and a factory upgrade download. It was actually quite comical how bad that was.

That list gave me a good laugh.
Fake sunroof tho, 1 word..."Why?" Who are you going to impress with a sunroof Haha

Just ordered a MY16 Build White GTI -PP with leather.
Glad I waited - luckily it took a bit longer to sell my previous MK6 GTI and I'd been monitoring other places on the net that indicated the App-Connect 6.5inch touch screen would be coming.
Having the Keyless Access is just a bonus.

I went to a couple of dealers today to try place an order, they told me to drop in again in a couple of weeks when they have more information and their allocation. Was there much movement on the drive away price? I was a bit surprised that they quoted 54k for standard drive away. I thought it'll be less with the price drops...

Did they say when you could expect to receive it?

They had to add a note in the contract it would be a MY16 build as the part number for the MY16 cars isn't on the System yet.
I understand there's a small number of MY16 GTI's + PP's on the way.
I won't know until the end of the week when I might get my car - earliest the end of Sept, latest date - who knows.

Me neither. Glad I got mine before as the leather would have been a deal breaker. Fronts in leather look good new, but the rear seat is awful. Way too much 5 yo saggy daggy creased and shiny leather out there...

I have the spec I wanted and will happily pay to upgrade to 6.5" nav with the associated benefits.
