Order has been accepted by the factory, but all GTI orders are apparently on hold and being upgraded to 2014 specifications from week 22.
Heck that means they won't start building them until w/c May 27th. Add on another month for build, shipping, delivery and PDI's and I reckon the first ones on the road will be around the end of June!
What exactly are the 2014 spec upgrades?
I don't know what the entire 2014 spec upgrades are, but it includes the heated windscreen option that needs to be ordered along with the new (optional!) advanced telephone prep. I suspect this is needed to cradle the phone and boost antenna performance.
Apparently the heated windscreen is a clear film laminated between the glass, rather than thin wires like on Fords.
