I've been scanning this forum daily since I recently ordered a GTD. I’m getting excited watching others collect and show off their new Golfs and just wanted to get involved. My misses is sick of me pointing at cars as we drive about, today I received a look of despair as a Night Blue R cruised past, yesterday as we walked through a beautiful park I only paused to take in a 3dr Oryx White GTI in the car park! The VW tracker says I have a confirmed production week commencing 18/05/2014 which was a pleasant surprise as the dealer expected a much later date!
I've ordered a 3dr Golf GTD DSG in Tungsten Silver, 18" wheels, Leather, DNS PRO, Dynaudio, High Beam Assist, DDC, Keyless, Rear view camera, Winter Pack, Sport and Sound pack, Floor Mats… and now I’ve added Mud Flaps as a result of forum activity and photos!
I went a little over the top with the gadgets (if that's even possible) as I tried to level out the playing field between the models. I was torn between the GTD and an R… Eventually the boy in me lost out, but I'm on my way to getting the mix of mpg, playfulness and style I've wanted for so long! The difference from my current car will be amazing. I've been driving a Toyota Corolla TSport for the last 12years so deserve all of the treats VW can offer after enduring such a terrible plastic interior and fuel efficiency. The TSport sits at about 4-6k revs and burns money at around 25mpg if lucky, so my debit card will enjoy this change almost as much as me! A notable difference will be a radio/music the Toyota's broke about 6 years ago when I tried to fit and iPod device resulting in nothing to listen to other than horrendous road noise, creaking, squeaky brakes and my other half... hence the Dynaudio pack!
I think I should be receiving my GTD around the end of June (maybe later!) with a 4-5week wait from production to dealer handover. I’ve now got two months of keyboard bashing and reading of posts, so keep them coming… I can’t wait to be the guy publishing the photos and getting to the bottom of this Sport and Sound pack business... I like my dealer had no idea what it was, so I said f@#k it just add it!!!
