I've had mine for about 3 weeks, It was from stock at port so I don't know exactly the build date but sometime in Jan I believe.
It doesn't have under seat storage, which annoyed me a bit but to be honest don't miss them, the sunglass holder in roof holds 2 sets of glasses.
The door bins are felt lined and so is the glove box, little cubby to right of steering wheel is not.
Piano black in centre consul, looks nice but have to carefully clean often. Carbon fibre bits still on dash above glove box and doors.
Ambient lighting on door sills, door cards and front footwell but not under seats for rear footwell.
No lock on glove box but do have isofix covers.
I didn't go for pro nav as I don't use it much and felt the money was better spent on the performance pack( diff, bigger brakes and 7spd DSG)
I would of liked the dynamic lights etc but was on a budget so had to limit options.
Lane assist- I think if you want that you shouldn't be driving!
At the end of the day you get what you want and can afford its your car.

Picked my 7.5gti up last November and that has both under seat drawers. Very odd that they would remove them. I keep bird sh1t wipes in mine.

Dont quote me but didnt they used to remove under seat storage when you spec dynaudio :undecided:,imo the overall build quality of the Golf GTI MK7 is pretty poor i`ve had far more problems with my MK7 than i did with the MK6.

Maybe it was just the mk6 as they have put some of the equipment in the boot now.

Just read on another VW Golf forum which has mainly USA/Canadian members, that the under bonnet insulation pad is not fitted to North American mk7.5 Golf GTI’s. The forum member whose car didn’t have this fitted thought it may have been left off in error by the factory, but 3 new showroom mk7.5 Golfs also didn’t have the bonnet insulation pad either.

Do UK mk7.5’s still get the bonnet insulation, or is this something else to add to the penny pinching list?
