ID.GTI - Take My Money Now

Love, love, love it.

Yes please. Love my Taycan but my previous car was a GTI and I genuinely miss it.

Me too. My previous car was a hotrodded eGolf. Basically the electric GTi they never built with lowered suspension, bilstein sport shocks, the aero bits from an eTrophy race car and plaid GTD seats. I haven't sold that car yet and if I'm being honest, it's better and more fun for my daily city commute than the Taycan.

I bought a ‘23 GTI S base model about six months ago to split time with my Taycan, and I love it. A ton of car for $33k.

I previously owned a ‘17 Golf R for a couple of years and was super impressed with that car too. If they keep the production version of this new car close to this concept, it’ll be my next car.

Previous owner of a 2008 MkV R32 in Deep Blue Pearl that I really miss...

It looks very promising! VW has one upped hyundai with their retro design on the Ioniq 5 for sure.

That is a thing of great beauty imo. Really like it.

Maybe the Germans (after a slow start with EVs) are starting to move in the right direction.

Hopefully they will leave Tesla to fight the (largely irrelevant) 0-60 battle and concentrate on driving dynamics and quality.

Where is the order sheet!? Sign me up! Perfect compliment to my Taycan.

It’s on my radar too. Had most of the GTI’s, R32’s over the years, wife has also loved pushing the to them to the limit.

For the second car/wife’s, currently have a Cupra Born V3 on order but will definitely be looking into GTI after that, been waiting for a ‘hot hatch’ EV to appear. Before anyone pipes in about model 3 or ’xyz’ being faster…..the old GTI feel was not just about speed, it was the whole package, feel, handling and size…..let’s hope their are more manufacturers heading in this direction to give good option/competition but follow the ‘hot hatch’ characteristics….

Sadly not out til 2027, my wife is desperate for next year’s new Mini otherwise I’m sure I could convince her to get this instead.

Love, love, love it.

Loved my 87 GTI...I then "graduated" to super love of my Corrado! Bring back the Fahrvegnugen!

I’m also super interested in the ID Buzz AWD version that’s rumored to be here late next year. If it’s not $90k, that might wind up in my driveway first. Would be a perfect people/dog hauler around a beach town like this.
