I've been running a 3dr GTI PP Manual for 12 months, 16k miles.

great car, all you need for the road.  Good for 150MPH (I was in Germany...honest..)

Options I picked:
Small NAV - excellent, use it more than I thought I would. Definite choice to have, forget tomtom, they look crap.
Keyless - again, excellent and very handy to have.
Dynaudio - dont bother, not worth the money
PP - hmmm on the fence. I drive pretty hard so I appreciate the brakes. But you find you are constantly looking to "deploy the diff" and end up doing every tight bend at vmax.  Unless you want to drive like you've rented it, dont bother.

Overall the car is fantastic, and I echo other people in saying how genuinely useful the ACC is.  Even as a manual gearbox.

I get approx 30mpg, have once seen 39 when I drove like a nun.

Order it, no one ever regretted buying quality!
