Title: MK7 GTI spec
Post by: Makaveli on December 24, 2016, 03:40:49 pm
Hi,
 
I have had my MK5 Golf GTI for over 8 years now and I think its time for a change, I am looking at trading it in for a MK7 Golf GTI. My MK5 is fairly well spec'd (Leather seats, 18" Alloys, Xenons etc) so im starting to look at the options available on the MK7 Golf GTI. I will be buying a used car but I have my heart set on one with the Performance Pack as one of the options. Am I right in thinking that the MK7 GTI comes with Xenons as standard? Also does the Performance Pack come with the option to change driving modes - sport etc?
 
Any other advice or suggest options would be appreciated... :popcornsoda:

Yeah the xenons are standard and with the PP it gives you driving mode options. Worth waiting for the right spec. Prices have come down since I got mine in March. Luckily I found a low mileage 1 owner car with all the spec. Good luck with the search and it's definitely worth it. The R is also coming down in price but with basic spec.

Thanks for the reply and the info. PP is top of the list then. I cant really see much else as optional extras that I would want, any other options would be a bonus. Leather seats would be a nice to have I guess.
 
What options do you have? Any pics?

Rather Than make a new post will add here. Does the performance pack on the post 14 year cars come with the Uprated diff, one I am looking at is a 64 plate with the red rear GTI badge dealer is not sure if it has?
