If thats just it, colour....im not going to bother changing my order. Are you sure it doesn't do anything else like display yr text messages??? that'd be handy.

The latest VW Bluetooth system fitted to my RNS 510 shows text messages on the dash computer display.
Very funky and useful - and it doesn't need to be in £180 worth of colour either!!!

Still not convinced. I'm not been tight as I've spec'ed my March 11 gti up quite well but will colour MFD make much difference? Im even considering the plastis boot liner.

Ordered my GTD in October and still no build date :cry:

I changed my order to include the colour MFD. I'm still not sure why I want this in the car :undecided: I think I just decided if I'm going to spend that much money on a Golf... Why not! :cool:

Daz, spend a bit more and get a GTI or even an R! :evil:

i've never seen a real one, only ones reviewed on TV and video but the head-up displays that show info in the windscreen like on the BMW M5 i think is a much cooler and more useful feature than a colour display in the dash. having speed and revs showing in a HUD means you wouldn't have to refocus your eyes as much looking at the physical dials on the dash, keeping your eyes focused on the road more. considering the amount of sophisticated options you can already get on VW vehicles like DSG, ACC, rear parking camera, seems a let down not to have HUD, unless somehow BMW have some kind of expensive patent on it or something?  :undecided:

Yr could have a Ford (sorry for language) RS for similar price or ST maybe cheaper than a GTI but you've opted for VW; In for a penny, in for a pound. Go for it. :laugh:
