Since the scrappage scheme cars prices have risen sharply. The world has gone mad. New Focus's are 20k remember

Even though I paid my deposit last thurs my order has only just been placed today for a GTD. told to expect the car end May

My dad has been suffering from car envy so we've placed an order for him too - he's getting a GTD 5DR DSG in Tornado Red (he likes the pearl black but is too tight to cough up £500 for paint). He currently has a MK5 GT 170TDI.

When I rang Pulman up to finalise everything for my dad's (order will be placed today for his), the salesman said he's just had a bulletin to say that colour MFD is coming in soon as a no cost spec upgrade and may be standard by the time we get ours built (hopeful, but not a guarantee - certainly not a dealbreaker for me, nothing i'd be willing to pay for if not). Not sure whether only the GTDs and GTIs will be getting this "upgrade". Others on here have implied that this is a given, but the only literature reference to standard colour screen relates to the radio unit touchscreen. Finally a semi-solid confirmation.

I am thinking now, re-map the existing GTD keep all the hard earned money to fix it, if and when it breaks.

Can I be the first Irish order?!

Well, I haven't signed on the dotted line yet, but I'm very close. Trading my MK6 GTD and my dilemma is, can I go with white again or is that plain silly?! None of the other colours really float my boat apart from maybe red or the carbon grey (but that means paying for metallic!). I keep looking at my own car and how crisp and sharp it looks in white... it's been so easy to keep compared to the darker metallics I was used to and still looks factory fresh after 2 years.

Anyway, over here the standard spec isn't anywhere near as good as you guys get. Xenons, 18's and climate control are still very costly options!

So this is what I'm going for:
- 3DR White/Red GTI, Manual
- xenons
- 18's
- climate
- Half leather / alancantara (seats look like ED30 seats)
- Basic NAV
- privacy glass

I'm also hoping to get the rear camera, but for some reason it isn't showing up on the options list on the dealers configurator for the GTI. But it is available on the lesser models. Very strange indeed. Is the rear camera an option in the UK?

I have owned two White Sciroccos Joe and decided to go for white in the GTI as its such a nice colour. I did consider red but decided there is to much red in the new GTI.

I feel your pain I used to live in Dublin and the Irish car specs are cack at best. How much are you being fleeced for the GTI in Ireland?

Joe would you not consider an import from N.Ireland and pay the VAT/VRT im not sure if this still works out cheaper as im out of touch?
