This car is incredible. It shunts at 130mph easily, has heated seats and lovely blue dash and red lighting...it handles terribly but costs virtually nothing to run. I've not modified it at all but have a good sat nav inside courtesy of the 1 DIN unit from alpine and also a front centre armrest with cubby hole. What do you think of the forthcoming R32? Looks fantastic i think.

Yep,

just swapped my P1 for a PD150 golf GTi. The diesels are even quicker than the petrol turbo ones (150bhp and 237lb/ft @1900rpm).

The diesel gives the same top speed etc. How does 51mpg at 80-90mph over 200 miles strike you

Thumbs up

I used to have a GTi Turbo, mine was a 2000 model without the traction control. Hopeless wheelspin in the wet, infact being beaten off the lights by a Vectra made me get what I've got now

Nice cars though, love the black GTi with those mahoosive wheels on the VW advert.

Anniversay looks great. Has it also got the new speedo, etc? looks sharp. The R32 - cannot wait to see that...best golf ever IMO.

Gaz. Cancel it and go to another Dealer then. Have you paid a deposit? If not, then your entitled to change it.

Kick up a fuss and get the car you want.

1800........900 diesel and 900 petrol

it was going to work out at 6 per dealer, 3 in petrol and 3 in diesel, and in each colour.....a red, black n silver, but as i understand some of the larger dealerships were gonna get 10 or so anniversary's and the smaller one's would get 1 or 2,.............this from the vw dealer who lives opposite my house!!!!!
