MK 7 GTi
« on: April 04, 2013, 10:50:29 pm »
Evening all, just got back from Gadget show live in the NEC and for those not on facebook here are some pictures of the MK 7 GTi that was there. It was a manual left hooker but will give so some idea of what the UK version will look like.
All iphone 5 pics sorry









Park assist buttons beside gearstick

Electronic parking brake (cover for for cup holder rolled back)

Airbags for knees

LED on the doors

Really comfy and supportive seats

Optional 19" alloys

Lower front bumper


They also had demonstrations for park assist on lower spec MK 7's. It felt spooky not to steer, the parallel park was impressive but not so much for the bay parking.
Thanks for looking in

Like the pics, cheers for posting.

The button above 'DSC off' looks like the Audi button to switch off Stop/Start, so that looks like it's fitted. Or Start/Stop as some call it..

It's the sensor for the radar guided cruise control Rich, you'll probably notice eventually that most of them  (all I'd even go to say?) have that.

I'm looking at the pedals and thinking...  :sick: ... what happened to the floor mounted pedal? So much nicer..

Hmm, as others have pointed out, there definitely seems to be some areas where VW have taken a backwards step; the pedals! no, no, no.  Also the steering wheel looks thinner, and.... is it round!? ...not flat bottomed!!  

Plus, the wheels are crap, the brakes look the same poor mk5/6 setup, not a fan of the exhaust exposure either...

This.

They've gone too far with the dodgy angles on the new Mk7  :indifferent:

there isn't one thing I dislike about that car if I'm completely honest. If I could afford one brand new, I would have one for sure. Lovely car!
