Thanks, GW - Enjoy the ACC? Got leather?

No heard VW leather is nothing to write home about and I really like the look and feel of the cloth, it takes me back to the first days of the GTI all those years ago. lol how old am I ?

^I do find it a shame that with the mk6 they did not move to the (mk1 series 2) cars type seat finish. but then stripes may not work as well. :undecided:

Hi, GW  -  you saying you have heard that the leather ain't up to much or that you haven't heard? I'm going with the cloth anyway.

Enjoy!

I'm going to go against my heart's advice - I'm going to go for the DSG and hope that I enjoy the technology

F00k spending all that money on a hunch...  :undecided:    or maybe that's just skint little me...  :laugh:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Hi James, apparently the leather is not the best quality, it is prone to stretching and then looks baggy, the cloth looks great and stops you sliding around in your seat too.
I wish you all the best with your order and when you receive your car.
