Title: Fahrenheit edition Golf Gti's in Canada
Post by: galaxie500 on April 18, 2013, 11:22:58 pm

I've just returned from a long trip to Vancouver, Canada and spotted a couple of Fahrenheit GTi's there.  I don't know anything about them other than what I saw cosmetically and the briefest of moments when the driver let me point my iPhone into the cabin to snap the pic below. I believe Canada had 150, all were this orange colour and all were Semi Auto's with the DSG box.  Not sure if they came with Xenons but certainly all the other GTi's I saw were. I was told they were shod with different wheels from the factory - these look like the old Scirocco rims but wider.
Anybody have more spec info, like/dislike etc?

Love the Fahrenheit's. Yes, the model is a limited cosmetic version of the std US gti as was the Fahrenheit's here. They came out after I bought mine...but likely would be driving one had they been there in late '06.
So, standard equipment is:
DSG
bi-Xenon
18" wheels
color matched interior trim and stitching
black rear spoiler

Those wheels look aftermarket - fifteen 52 snowflakes?
