Hi everyone!
Happened to come across this forum after the countless hours of googling, reading, watching and hearing everything possible about the Golf GTI. This is an amazing place and a lot of concerns that I had regarding the GTI have been answered.
I am looking to adopt (purchase does not seem the right word) a GTI this January and dealing with Al Nabooda, Sheikh Zayed. In this respect, I am interested in getting the GTI "Sport" model (as quoted by Rasha) for AED 141,900. Had a few queries that Al Nabooda could not answer, that I look forward to being answered:
1. Do the stock Golf GTIs (sold in Dubai) come with the Performance Pack pre-fitted? I ask this as the normal GTI (outside UAE) is 210 bhp and then you get an additional 10 bhp with the PP. Also, the PP comes with the big red break calipers, which I have seen in almost every GTI in Dubai.
2. Does the GTI "Sport" come with DCC? I had taken the Sport on a test drive where I could select the modes. Is that it or am I missing something? Asking the sales person at Nabooda about dynamic chassis was quite the task...so hoping someone on this forum can answer.
3. Being a big audiophile, there is nothing more disappointing than having a sound system that does not deliver. I had this problem with a Peugeot in the past. My question is... does the stock audio sound system deliver adequate clarity for your music?
4. Any updates on the MIB II infotainment system? Do all GTIs now come with MIB II fitted? Does Apple Car Play work? Finally, will I really miss out if I don't get a MIB II?
5. Lastly, I am really concerned from what I have read about Al Nabooda customer service. Is this something that is a thing of the past? How has your experiences been with getting things done at Al Nabooda?
Thanks a ton for all your input on the other posts! If there is any additional advice that you would like to provide, please feel free!
P.S. Thinking of getting it in carbon steel.
Cheers,
Shil
