Colour screen, yay or ney

I cannot find a single document or notification supporting the fact that you get the colour mfd for free so make sure you have it on the order at a cost of £135.00

Same, and I was told by the sales guy yesterday that it wasn't standard.  It's on my order and staying there, only to be questioned if required at the point of paying for the car.

I have just been onto Sli to mock order a car and it doesnt give the Colour mfd as an option........

So I guess we will wait till we get an email saying yes it is standard before I put my balls on the line and says it is.

My dealer was told by VWUK it was standard when i tried to order it over a week ago we will have to wait and see.To be fair its been a pretty poor launch the configurator has changed three times and the price has gone up.

P.S i can live with out it if it turns up with out it,dealer says they will knock the cost off the price if it turns up with no colour display or ADC,so not fussed

Pulman's website have VW price increases across the model ranges from May 1st in a "beat the price rise" headline, Maybe Evo1986 can confirm this - time for the stragglers to get their order in if the GTI/GTD aren't immune. Looks like deposit contributions (£1000) from VW have just come in for the standard Golf range, but no mention of it for GTD/GTI.
My dealer is confident the colour MFD is going to be standard for around the time I get mine.

Yes 1st of May everything as far as I can remember is going up by 1%. £1000 deposit contribution is on golf cabriolet only. £500 deposit contribution on mk7 hatch but not on GTI/GTD versions!

This is correct per my experience when ordering today. £500 dealer contribution does not apply to the GTI/GTD, however this 'deal' is replaced by finance at 6.4%, which is pretty decent.

6.4% is not great at the moment. You can get a bank loan for as low as 5.1%. Also, for comparison, BMW PCP is 5.9%.

Yes but the hoops you have to jump through these days to get a loan, particularly of that size, I'd rather pay the extra 1% for the ease factor.  Personal choice of course!
