The red will definitely grow on you, when i went to go buy my gti i had every intention of getting UG but when i got there (which i had been dealing with the same dealership for about a month) i had already had my financing set up and he had basically told me to come and pick out the one i want within the price range i could afford (which was about 26,000 or so) i get there and find a 07' UG package one and its everything i wanted but he tells me he can't give me the interest rate that i need to keep my payments where i want he said he can only give me the 4.9% interest on an 06' at this point there were only 14 06' in the midwest region he had one red one and it was still a package 1 but had the 17's instead of the 18's which i really love.
