Post by: JG220 on July 29, 2011, 01:18:03 pm
Hello :)

welcome to my 18week wait :o for the delivery of a 5door black GTD.

Just been informed that it will come with leather as std, when i ordered cloth.

Thats a bit of a result.

And that bluetooth is now std accross the range. (though i had ordered that anyway)

It looks like all GTis will also have leather from build week 38.

....If that had been the case when I ordered my Mk5 GTI I'd probably have cancelled my order. I much prefer cloth.

Well its arrived :)

I ordered Black, I got White. Go figure that one out. All the options were present and correct, as the was the free upgrade to leather.

I had toyed with white at the time of ordering. That, with a combination of rather liking the white and the fact i couldn't be bothered to wait another 20 weeks resulted in me accepting the car as it was.

I've got to say, its rather good:

Running it in this morning (or not ;) )

Well all GT and GTD/GTI cars from build week 38 come with leather, i already knew that would happen.
You can't have cloth anymore even if you want it

The colour is a bit different. They are still looking into who messed up. I suspect its the dealer.

I rather like the 17s that it has, they look a LOT better than the GTD 18s, and the ride is more pleasant.

yeah I was just saying, if it were mine.... :wink:
Well you got to be happy with the end result, but that's some dealer error :stupid:

Did the dealer offer any discount for it being the complete opposite colour you ordered? Lol

Nice car though :)

Nice to see you got it i hope the dealer will give you a few freebies for the slight colour difference!

I've been amazed by the economy of the thing.

I didn't bother running it in, and drove it normally out of the box.

This morning, 50 mile commute, 35 miles of motorway (with a bit of start stop) and the rest A-road and town.

Trip was rest when tank was filled

Lovely motor mate. Although leather is nice I think the cloth is lovely on the Gti/Gtd...but as long as your happy and that mpg is amazing.

Nope, i took it as it was. Otherwise would have waited 25 weeks for another.

And i prefer the white to the black, just wasnt' brave enough at the time of ordering.
