Spec and Options Popularity

Didn't want to post this in the sticky thread as it clearly says no spam.

This is a quick analysis I did of how popular each choice is based on the posts in the sticky thread as of 18:00 on 29/04.

And now for the bonus:



In case this one isn't clear, its showing the number of people that selected a number of options.  So if you picked Performance Pack, Keyless Entry and 19" Wheels then you would increase the frequency of the "3" column by +1.  In other words cars ordered with 4 or 0 optional extras added are the most frequent, and no one has ordered more than 9 options (so far).

EDIT:
DSG and Paint are not counted as "options" for this, if they were then everything would be bumped up by 2 as you'll always have to pick something here, you can't have no DSG or Manual and you can't have no paint work!  Its only the 14 extras listed in the bar chart on the first post that count.

Yes.  Also Pure White was obviously popular but I had no idea it was the choice of 58%.  Kinda odd which options are most popular.  I would have guessed things like Performance Pack and 19" Alloys would be the most popular, yet Rear Cam and Winter Pack are surprisingly near the top of the list instead.

Yep, that's you out alone there! :tongue: However, you kept clear of some of the pricier options so on a cursory look at the distribution of ticks in the table I used to generate this I suspect you may not be the most expensive... I won't be pricing everyone's up though, that seems a bit too mischievous/nosy.

This is ace, interesting split on three and five doors. Good to see lots going for Candy White. My dealer rang me on Saturday to tell me I can get int a mk7 GiT for the same money as what I'm paying now nice Performance Pack, but who knows what's around the corner?!?!

I think so, imo candy is ever so slightly creamier (mmm) than pure white.
