What "STANDARDS" do you expect on Golf GTI MK VII?

[DoggieHowser]

By all means, have custom factory options and the corresponding 9 month deliveries. But a nicely spec-ed variant for, say the GTI, that you can drive off the factory floor would be nice.

Yes that would be a good idea. By now VW Australia would have reasonably good statistics on what options are most commonly ordered, and maybe package a few different combo's together and give them a badge.

Apart from fixing reliability issues and fixing squeaks/rattles etc, I think the GTI as is with 155kw and 17" rims is slightly under done, I would like to see a stage 1 model available from VW to avoid the warranty issues that arise from stage 1 mods. Something like the 35ED as a standard production model maybe.

I agree 100%. 155kw is a little under done for a GTI. 190kw and 400nm with a strong 6speed DSG, all out of the box would be nice. But alas, we won't get it.

The problem with giving the GTI higher power/torque numbers is that the R needs to be higher again.

Maybe, but 4motion, uprated suspension, wheels and interior - AND PRICED ACCORDINGLY, would be enough IMHO

They will, I expect. But I have strong doubts we'll ever see them in Australia. Which makes me a sad bunny.

Maybe we should hang on to our Mk5, one of the first officially imported 3dr GTIs in the country, for old time's sake.

When will they release photos of the GTI & R models??

Yea doors that dont groan and squeak would be great "standard" items
