Okay.
This past Tuesday after the typical Doctor's visit where he told me to lose some weight and watch what I eat. I decided that I needed a boost and went by the VW Dealer on that side of town. Had a nice talk with them and got the DVD and Info on the GTI to take home. They asked me back to do a test drive and I told them maybe Saturday.
Well, They treated me today as well as the other day. They took their time. Showed me the GTI and answered most of my questions.
The Car I drove was a Gray, DSG with Cloth and stock 17's. I was very VERY impressed. I had wondered how the DSG did when you got off the throttle. Was it like a manual in that regard or the Auto. I like the way the DSG defaults back to normal DRIVE mode if you don't use the paddles.
Handling was GREAT and the ride BETTER than I thought it would be. Quite livable on the broken roads around the Salt Belt here in NY.
THE QUESTION they could not answer is the one about the 5 Door GTI. Guys.....I really hope they bring this car to the USA. It is "THE" car that I need. I can't express that enough. I looked at every car that is currently on my Short list today. After DRIVING the GTI, there is NO WAY I want a conventional 4 door sedan. NO WAY!
Someone tell me that the 5 Door GTI is coming. Point me to a link so I can rest easy....ANYTHING!

P.S. All in all....A GREAT DAY!
