Thanks, thought that was the case.  Really good spec on the GTi's IMO, not a lot else comes close in terms of a full package.

Wide, how much is the GTi PP with those standard items here in the UK? Also can you get keyless in the 3 door in Sweeden, I'm guessing not?

Not as bad as us Irish though! Our standard spec is actually slightly better than UK but we pay well for it. A standard GTI PP starts at ballpark 40k here.

I was looking at the online configurator on the german VW site and i noticed Active Info Display and Sat Nav is an option!  Mad how the spec list is different from country to country?

Everything is optional in Germany. You get seats and a steering wheel and you work up from there  :laugh:

I can only guess that the German's prefer more flexibility with spec'ing the cars and I guess it is easier to do it in Germany as the logistics of dealing with the factory are much easier due to proximity.

Yes it is crazy different between countries.  :grin:: We have better prize than the German in Sweden with the same options. But think you English have the best in Europe i think ;)

R start like 42 000Euro in Sweden..  :sad:

But the GTI stats around 32 000Euro with DSG..  :smiley:

Another question  :grin:

On the My VW app, it states the car i have ordered as "Indium Grey Metallic Titan Black"

Fine with the Indium, but i am having the Red Jacara Cloth... Has anyone else had the Titan Black description on the app when having Jacara Cloth?

Thanks.

My open order shows "Deep Black Pearl Titan Black" and I've ordered DBP as the cost option colour with standard Jacara cloth.

So nothing to worry about I think.

The "Titan black" refers to the other parts of the interior (dash, doorcards, etc) rather than the seats I think.

Titan black is the headlining colour. Not sure why VW insist on showing this on the app although you can probably order a different colour headlining in other markets.

Hi Guys,

Does the 7.5 GTI come with a CD drive in the glovebox out of interest?  I know Skoda did away with it on the Octavia vRS.

I use an iPod 99% of the time, but on the odd occasion i buy a new CD it's nice to put it on straight away.

Thanks.

Hi cosmicremedy, I'm pleased to say that it does have a cd player in the glove box - I feel the same about CDs as you do!
