Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

If i read the configurator correctly last time... 19 inch rims cannot be specified if you want the optional sunroof. Weird.

Yeah, that seems to be the case everywhere (heard about it in UK and NZ). Maybe the 19s make things too firm for the sunroof?

Maybe like the Tiguan everyone else gets an option of the 19" wheel but it was too costly to get adr'd so they just wouldn't offer it here.

Edit: Thats not an AU launch, all the cars are LHD. Out front the sign appears to be in Hebrew so I'm guessing Israel?

Thanks for clarifying that...

I don't mind those rims. Look like a derivative of the Austin wheels. That's the first time that I've seen a wheel alternative to Austin and Santiago.

those are the 17s

Damn. No distinctive LED tail lights even with the bixenon upgrade?

This probably needs to go in the Golf R thread, but I like this group of guys.

The artificial looking photos that have been previously released were really underwhelming, but the video and the photos look freakin' awesome!

Maybe we should all save up and wait.

Sure thing. Pretty short list though, with no Nav upgrade listed.

Basically a highline with 10mm lower suspension, paddles on the steering wheel, clark tartan seats, red led interior, and colour centre display and the GTI motor...oh and yes twin exhaust

And a few extra kw!

Sure and yes 18 in rims, but we still don't know the price! The options listed all up come to between $7,500 and $8,000, metallic paint $450. A fully loaded GTI will probbaly have a rrp of between $48,000 and $49,00. There will be no discounts for the first few months.

Is this the original or a third party unit?

I just think that if you are paying for the bixenon upgrade, this should already come with it.

I agree, I have Bi-Xennon on my Golf 7 and was a little disappointed that it did not have LED tail lights.

The mob claim that they are OEM, but I would do some checking first. I'm considering them, but its a lot of money.

I was just a bit skeptical about the plug and play AND original claims because if it is an original part, the Mk6 required toggling of some codes in the VAGCOM to get the LED tail lights to work.

My father in law got the bixenon upgrade as well but no LED either in Singapore.

Carsystems generally only sell OEM items, I don't think i've ever seen an aftermarket item on their store. They generally are on the ball when it comes to whether or not it needs vcds. These guys do tacho swaps and everything. Guess we'll find out once people start modding their GTIs

So adaptive chassis control is standard on the GTI?
