Ordered it at last. Had some issues as the dealer i was going through could not get an order in before January and i didn't want to get hit with a price rise ! :sad:
Found another dealer which would give me 8 % Discount and then another (with 17.5 % Vat) ! :laugh:

Delivery in March (They did say they could get it before then end of Feb  but i declined that offer as i want a 10 Plate)

Spec:

GTI 5DR DSG
White
18 " Monza's
Bi Xenon Lights
ACC
RCD 510
DAB Digital Reception
Mobile Phone Prep Rsap (Bluetooth)
Lux Pack

Things I considered but didn't order :

Leather - Too Expensive and liked the cloth.
Parking Sensors - I can park !
Cruise Control - People advised me i wouln't use it and it can be added afterwards if required.
Storage Pack - Told it restricts rear footroom (thought it might be useful !)

Cough cough cough *bullsh1t* cough cough!!
Not a hope in hell!!

Orders from September / October and now being given build weeks of around 10 (which means delivery in April / May really), so a December order would never be ready for Feb unless they actually have a car in a build slot and would swap it.  If its already in a build slot though, it'd probably be too late to change it now.

Sounds good...
I can park too - but I had a little accident that ended up costing me £500 excess (or £1200 for the repair) when I reversed into something I couldnt see.  Parking sensors would have saved me!!!  Now they'll ALWAYS be on my options list.  1 mistake costs MUCH more than the sensors!
Also - how can you miss out the reverse cam for £150?!  Its great... and costs about £500 to retrofit!!!!

Bluetooth - if you've got a Nokia and plan on having one forever, then fair enough... if not, retrofit the Fiscon kit.

Good spec Fanters, you'll love it.
Cruise is an option I like and would look for in a secondhand car.  Cheap too.
Those average speed cameras are defeated by a press on the cruise button.

Fancy PMing me these dealers details because i feel i need to cancel my current order due to a dealer who is hopeless (huge understatment) and get mine elsewere.

I've gone through Stoke-on-Trent VW (was via the Work Fleet Dept so they got me this deal, but is a private buy not a company car) ! I also could have go the same deal via Coast to Coast Cars (broker) who where using inchcape VW in Stockport i think.

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?

Can you get the reverse camera on its own, or do you need to spec the parking sensors too?

Plus ordering the DAB means you can't have the camera anyway.

I'm pretty sure you CAN have the camera without the sensors.  Never noticed the DAB on the spec list.  Definately can't have the cam with DAB!

A build week 9 won't be here in Feb, since week 9 is the first week in March!
