I guess I have a thing for gray

W37V · 07-31-2016, 09:14 PM

Another gray joins the family. I prefer spay gray like on my e92, but this gray will do.

2016 GTI w/ 4 door and DSG

Got to love model year clearance events - 23k out of the door.

And a photo of my baby in snow.

Great purchase. Isn't the MSRP around $26-29K?

Yep it looks mental and serious also the easiest
color to keep clean. When its dirty it doesn't look
half as dirty as anything else.
That GTI looks black.

Welcome to the family, love that color, carbon steel gray.

MSRP on this one was $27,835, which would put it on the road at about $30k.

Pitting 10 dealers against each other does miracles to price. Manual transmission ones could be had for 22k.

It's gray. I think my computer automatically "enhanced" the photo.

Even though GTI is fun and tossable, i am still BMW sheep.

GTI would definitely be a strong choice for me if I was looking for a car. Let us know when you get some wheels on it!

I would highly suggest GTI SE with performance package and manual.
Autobahn version is not worth it.

Unfortunately, I might get winter set for it, but that is it. Car will be used for daily commuting to work, so no need to pretty it up.
