Who is planning on pre-ordering?

[roger2050]

Anyone here pre-order a Golf/GTI mk6? Any plans on pre-ordering a Golf/GTI mk7?

Just curious...to those who have done this in the past, is this done through a dealership before they even receive the first new shipment? It'd be great if you could share what the experience was like and any details/pointers.

When is there going to be an order window opening ? I am ready to get a new TDI since I did not buy the R . Love my MKVI but want a loaded 4 dr TDI .

How could anyone consider this yet when they haven't seen the exterior, interior, engine or price? You already decided you want one regardless of these factors? Also, putting money down or on a list to get one of the first really makes it difficult to negotiate a good price.

[roger2050]

To answer your question - yes, I already decided that I'd like to purchase a mark 7 GTI. What is so awfully wrong about that?

If I was concerned about negotiating a great price, I wouldn't be looking to preorder - but thanks for that.

Id definitely be interested in eventually getting into a mk7, however ill wait till the first two year of production go along. So they can fix the bugs and problems.

I know my dealer will give me a great deal and that is not a concern for Me . He knows I will also buy a diesel Tiguan when they come to the US as well as a MKVII .

If I decide to throw a little more money into my mk6, I might end up going this route.

The idea of ordering a car before you see one in person does not seem to crazy. People sort of already know what to expect from a VW, and VW doesn't seem to be trending backward too much. I had a 2009 Jetta for a couple years, just traded that in for a 2012 Impreza, and I am already thinking about getting another VW due to some problems with the Impreza and because I miss how my VW drove. Once the Golf VII is shown, I will likely be heading down to the VW dealer to see how I can go about being one of the first people to get one.

Riding my lease out (done 10/2013) and waiting to see what this car looks and drive like before I make any decisions.

If the Golf MKVI and MKVII aren't drastically different, which I doubt won't be the case, then I'll look at a Volvo C30. I've been craving something other than a Volkswagen for some time now, lol

[doozinit]

from what ive heard i think this will be my next car, wont get the first model year did that will my mk6 jetta...never again

[hussdog426]

Why would any body preorder a car that probably won't be here for a year or 2

[mtb_jeremy]

I would say I am pretty much ready to put in an order for one. I am still driving around a 12-year-old GTI, that I bought new. It has been solid, but figure it will be time to replace it in the next year or two. My friends would say I should replace it now. I have become so accustomed to the VW feel that there isn't really anything else out there that I have a desire to own. I travel for work and have driven so many different makes as rental cars. Honestly, there aren't many/any cars in my price range that I love the looks of 100% these days (hate the rake of windows to the back that leave horrible rear visibility), so I am willing to commit to whatever VW brings as a design for the next Golf/GTI.

Also, through work I have access to straight pricing $500 below invoice on VWs, so I would be fine with that kind of deal.

Do you consider the first model year is when the car is sold somewhere or when it is released in the country that you live in? (Given that in the U.S. we always get the car a year or more after European release).

[kimilein]

The Golf is the bread and butter of the European market for VW, and European sales of the Golf are far more than North American sales. None of the generation changes for the Golf have been radical so far, and there is no reason to believe the Golf 7 will be radically different. It's going to be a practical, well-made, solid hatchback with unobtrusive if not bland styling. Ze Germans wouldn't have it any other way.

[VR6Now]

There is nothing to pre order so any thoughts along those lines is premature. This no announced release date for the U.S. or Europe for that matter. No order codes or an established date when dealers can order from the factory. Really don't see any point to pre order when none of the released configurations are defined and no launch announcement is made. You'll get your car no sooner than someone who waits until VW is accepting orders.

I've already preordered my MKVII GTI.

I'm trading in my R32.

No you are not!

[heimbachae]

No you are not!

he's doing it for the MKVIII

[VR6Now]

I'm placing pre-orders for both the Golf 7 and the Golf 8 since I already know that I'll be ready to move from the VII to VIII by the time it comes out.

My dealer took my non-refundable deposit for both. I could not figure out why he was laughing.

Nice.

Just saying, like someone else pointed out, most Golf generations haven't been radically different (visually) to the previous generation. So, using that logic, it's safe to say there's a very good chance I'll like or learn to like the mk7.

Well, since we don't get the Euro-spec golf in the states, I'd consider the first model year to be when it is sold in the US. I mean...I know...still assembled in Germany and whatnot...but it's a slight variation of the car, especially if US spec engines are de-tuned a little... my .02

[SPM_GTI]

I pre-ordered the MK9.

I'll pre order one of these

......damnit.

[roger2050]

......damnit.

Exactly my thoughts.

I'm in a situation where I'm undecided on whether I want to trade in my DSG for a manual, or wait for the mk7 GTI...OR wait for the scirocco! Sweet mother of God...
