Team Car Delight

Joseph July 2, 2025

Automobile content creator Mia Joseph Chirakkekaran, better known as ‘Octane Girl’ on Instagram, has added another hot hatch to her garage. Known for her love of fast cars and bikes, Mia has now taken delivery of the all-new Volkswagen Golf GTI, becoming one of the first women in India to own this performance machine.

Previously, Mia had gone viral when her father gifted her a Volkswagen Polo GTI for her 18th birthday. This time, her family planned an even bigger surprise.

Surprise Delivery 

Videos posted on her Instagram show Mia arriving at Phoenix Volkswagen in Thrissur, Kerala, with her father and sister. The trio reached the dealership in her Polo GTI, only to be greeted by two Golf GTIs under covers inside the showroom.

Mia is seen pulling the cover off one of the cars — a stunning Golf GTI finished in Grenadilla Black Metallic. What takes her by surprise is the custom plate with her Instagram name ‘OCTANE GIRL’ displayed on it. Her expression shows genuine confusion, suggesting she wasn’t aware that the car was meant for her.

This leads to speculation that the delivery might have been planned as a surprise by her family. From the video, it appears she may have believed she was attending a regional launch or unveiling event for the Golf GTI — something automakers often arrange these days. She might have also assumed the car was for her dad or someone else in the family.

Celebration and First Drive in the Rain

Soon after, a dealership executive hands over the keys to Mia, confirming that the Golf GTI is indeed hers. Her sister appears equally shocked. Following a few moments of disbelief, the family celebrates the special moment by cutting a cake, receiving a gift hamper from the dealership, and completing the paperwork.

Towards the end of the video, the Golf GTI is seen driving on a rain-soaked highway — a newly built stretch in Kerala, which is currently experiencing heavy monsoons. With water splashing and wipers on, the GTI powers through the scenic route — making for a perfect cinematic end to the delivery video.

Final Thoughts

Mia’s surprise Golf GTI delivery is more than just a car purchase — it’s a moment that celebrates passion, family, and the growing presence of women in India’s car enthusiast community. With performance credentials, a powerful legacy, and now an inspiring story behind it, her Volkswagen Golf GTI is already turning heads — both online and on the road. As more women like Mia break stereotypes and take the wheel of high-performance machines, the Indian automotive scene continues to evolve into a more inclusive and exciting space.
