There is a Mk7 GTI Demonstrator at my local dealer.. Time to blag a test drive I think!

And the new Octy is alright.

Why have they got rid of the floor mounted pedal?  One of the features I like about the interior.

IIRC don't the MK7s now come with a "knee airbag"?
They lost the floor mounted pedal so it moves out of the way in a crash

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Went to my dealers earlier just to grab a brochure on the GTi.
They are running a dark blue 5 door demonstrator and offered me a drive.
Didn't wanna appear rude and say no..
So gonna be giving it a thrap on Sat am.

Really like the Mk7. But still really like my Ed30...

Think if I go Mk7 it will need to be a 40 (if they do one) or an R but see what it steers like on Sat.

Sales lad told me it's on 21 week lead time at the mo. which may be sales patter of course.
