You guys going to hate me now... :fencelook: :rollsmile: :fencelook:
But one day is one day!!! This is my brand new second hand (rofl) 2012 MK6 Golf GTI DSG with sunroof,18" Mags,Touch Screen Radio,Xenon lights (+daylight LED's) and pretty much that.

My dad didn't budge for the e90 320d or the new F20 120d...
We drove this car...and I could see in his smile that he liked this Golfie very much. In his personal opinion...he thinks it's a better built quality. I also did the VW advanced driving course with the Manual GTI's and it was great fun.

The downside: It's FWD and quite heavy on fuel. Some 45km of Driving highway and city it gave me a figure of 8.2L/100km. I'm sure it will climb to 10L+

In the end...I'm VERY happy with this awesome purchase. I know I'm going to see my gat againts the Beemers but hell...These GTI's drive nice! I drive at approx 50-60km/h and before I know it, this DSG Gearbox is already in 5th gear?! Gave her some beans in Sport Mode (Tip tronic) and hell...this gearbox is FLAWLESS! Changes like a boss.
No wonder all the GTI's wants to dice & rice! It makes us feel like a ///M car hahaha! :flyfun:

After all it's my "daily!"

Ps: The insurance on the car is pathetic high!! R2500+ :flyfun:
We even heard some insurance companies charge R3800 p/m
Apparently very high risk in terms of high Jack and "us" windgat laaitjies...
But luckly me Santam is awesome. They gave me a better deal.

Sorry guys for the dissapointment. But I was really searching and nicking for the 330d / 320d but it didn't work out.

Just some info: Getting good deals on these MK6 GTI's! I think it's because of the upcoming Golf 7 range?! I don't know?!

Congrats man!
Its a concession, but not the worst one that could be made.
THe DSG box is great albeit that you dont really feel much on these cars at all, not like the DCT on the 135i which gives you a nice shove.

All in all, congrats and many happy K's man! Got a very decent car there.:thumbs:
