Not me.  I was swithering even in the dealer's when I gave him my specs.  But the more we all talk about it, the more sure I am that I've got it right.

how about those shiny shiny 18inch shadow alloys?

I think I'm gonna get a sunroof added too now. It's been bugging me, and to be honest it will keep bugging me till I just bite the bullet and add it to the car.

lol - i bet this is part of their "make em wait" strategy.  the longer we wait, the more we read, the more we get icthy hands and before you know it the options creep up!!


Probably right  :grin:

In all seriousness tho, I've looked and looked and nothing else interests me, just the sunroof. But mind you the Flat tyre indicator is getting a tad annoying.  :laugh:

Get thee behind me, Satan!

Like them well enough, but not enough to add more money to the order, especially with the consensus that the ride is slightly less smooth.

Kev, get the bloody flat tyre indicator!  It's a swindle, it should be standard, but it's only £35.  It's worth it.  (I had it on my original specs, hoping that it was the sort of item they'd just throw in.  You can see with the online configurator, that adding certain items to an already well-specced car doesn't increase the price on the last screen - I tried that with the DAB radio on my specs, and it added it without putting the price up.)

Whether you'd get it thrown in when you're already getting a keen discount I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I've ordered one, though the pics I've seen seem smoked, and I'd rather have relatively clear glass.  I like it in Scotland for brightening the whole shebang up on winter days, letting you see the moon on clear nights, and a bit of fresh air on nice days when it's not so hot you need the aircon.

Err, shouldn't you be looking out of the windscreen when driving not the roof?  :laugh:

Sounds like a great spec that is just getting better and a great delivery time too.

OK, tried it and you're right.  You do have to look away from the road quite a bit to see out of the sunroof.

I still like the effect of the moonlight in the car though.

Does it tell you if your tyres are flat only ? Or does it tell you your tyre pressure over a certain distance after measuring tyre size and weight then giving you the warning that your loosing pressure ?

Doh, flat tyre indicator!!!! blah what a waste of £35.  Who the hell needs that?  if your tyres are that flat you'll know anyway.  Jesus, VW certainly try to get us lot to chuck our hard earned at them mind you if anyone is fool enough to add flat tyre indicator to their spec I for one can't blame VW.  Oh my lord I'm splitting my sides laughing :laugh: :laugh:. You know what they say "fools and their money.......... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
