Re: New GTI

There are clearly massive discrepancies depending on the dealer and what you order. I ordered mine on the 8th January and it arrived Monday 22nd February so in total it took 45 days from start to finish. Mine was a 5 door manual with winter pack, light and sight and park and cruise. Looking at the t...

Servicing Plan

You don't have to have the exact tyre the profile 65 can be 60 for example and the speedo would just be slightly out.

That said. Your lease may not allow it and it can be counted as a modification.

Re: New GTI

I have a question. So with the whole DSG vs Manual debate the general consensus is they are the same for general 0-62 assuming you operate the manual with a reasonable level of mechanical sympathy! The bit I don't understand - not being an engineer - is I've seen a few reviews now which go into det...

Re: Servicing Plan

Tempting to go for the two year service plan but take the cost of tyres as I don't want Bridgestones once I wear these out.

Re: Servicing Plan

That's really good value. Hopefully I'll get a decent quote when I go to the dealership.

Servicing Plan

Now my GTi is in the country I need to decide on service plans. The VW quote system reckons on £12 a month for all servicing and tyres over 20000 miles and two years. £288 for two years or 20,000 miles of servicing. That seems good value. Does anyone have this for their GTi? Is that cheap in reality...
