I have noticed that the online configurator has been updated again and a new price list uploaded.

The only changes I can see is that pure white paint has now become a no cost option...

The rear view camera has jumped from £265 to £340

5dr DSG £105 dearer

Yep, well spotted clidds.

Looks like dog poo burgundy black rubin is discontinued.

£75 extra for a rear camera is a joke!!

Why on earth do you need a reverse camera on a small hatchback

It was £165 in 2015. That's a phenomenal rate of inflation!

I saw a GTD in Black Rubin at the dealers the other day. What I couldn't understand was the first owner specced leather at whatever the overinflated cost that was yet wouldn't spend even sub £300 to get a better colour

I wonder if anyone has been caught out by the dealers rubbish example photo of that colour.  When I was ordering my GTI they search the sales pipeline using an iPad and all the colour examples are basically what you get using the configurator app.  I remember it looked predominantly black in the photo.

It gives the dog something to look at when I’m reversing

Why not?? Why do people spec sunroofs when you get windows and climate control?
