Thinking of buying myself a 2007 GTI..........some advice

How many kms Rickardo?

[Rickardo]

97,000kms on the clock. Full VW service hostory (as you would expect) and 4 brand new RE001 tyres.

Thanks Ricardo but a few too many kms for me, plus I think I'll hold out for a manual. Like the sound of the new car you have an order though!!

I think the DSG is great; but the manual in the MK V GTI is also wonderful. It is so smooth, the gearstick glides into every gear like a hot knife through butter. You do lose the notchy precision kind of feel as a result, but I think it is overall a good choice. Anyway, if you've always driven stick, it won't be a chore.

Id keep an eye out for a Manual, easily one of the best manual gearboxes I have driven

If you are interested in a DSG, and in the very rare combo of German built 3-door, Sunroof, Leather and with the Graphite Blue metallic colour, I have one for sale with only 25,000 km and full VW service history, with next service due in Aug 2011! This car was built in 2008 so has the full height MFD

benefit of the DSG is that you can cruise around in traffic jams like an auto, but have a blast at other times (and enjoy the exhaust note!)

It also accelerates quicker, and uses slightly less fuel

Satz,

Just seen your car on Car Point - looks really nice, great spec. A little above my budget though (mid to high 20"s ideally) plus my preference is a manual. Actually drove a friend's Passat with DSG and was impressed with the box - very quick gear changes albeit a little hesitant off the mark although I suspect that was partly due to the lag of the turbo diesel.

Cheers, GMW
