    Red face First time GTI owner, previous experience with VAG

    Hi All,

    Just waiting on the finance to finally come through on my purchase of a 2017 GTI 7! I have been dreaming of a GTI or an Octavia RS for a number of years.

    I have a young family and we already have a Skoda Karoq which we absolutely love, my in laws have an Octavia and a Passat.

    Looking forward to being a part of this community

    Welcome and congrats on the new car. What colour is it and what options does the GTI have?

    Hi all,

    Thanks for the welcome.

    Unsure as to what packs the car has, as I am unsure what is standard kit. I do know it has the panoramic sunroof, which my wife is VERY pleased about (I think it is what got her approval for the purchase )

    I know it has Auto Park, which I am a fan of, especially for tighter spots in shopping centres, and also just a neat trick to show off when I am too lazy to Reverse Parallel myself, as well as adaptive cruise control.

    I cant remember the name of the paint, but it is a metallic grey (see below)

    Nice colour, sunroof and the very desirable optional xenon headlights which look sooo much better than the standard headlights. Its a nice looking car.

    Yes, and the auto park feature is very cool, I have it on my GTI and Polo and it's the best way to parallel park.

    Nice car, enjoy it.
