Well done mate. What was your final spec? Sounds like a long wait ahead. At least you've got the comfort of your Mk5 for the time being.

These threads might give you an idea of how long folk waited. Although things might have changed by now.
If nothing else it might take you a few months to read them  :grin:

Good spec Whitey, but you really should have gone for the ACC [DCC as it's called] You will regret this later, trust me, just as I slightly regret not speccing xenons.

On the gti review they said the standard suspension on gti were more on the mid-sports side anyway. Its already lowered 20mm from the standard golf so couldn't see much appeal. Can understand if driving different terrains ie motorway driving to track racing.Plus the DSG box still has the sports mode.

I don't have ACC on mine and I'm perfect happy with the set up on mine.

WHITEY: You will really regret not getting ACC. It is a very, very worthwhile option. Ditch some another option but get this.

The ACC in 'comfort' is truly wonderful on motorway journeys and gives the car a limo feel. The smoothness is uncanny.
For London driving, I leave the car in 'comfort' all the time as that's what it does. Very relaxing. I could not bear the jiggly ride in 'normal' on our lousy roads.
It is a wonderful option. :smiley:

As for Cruise Control, I've used it once and I had it retro-fitted by VW for £162.50 (fitted & inc VAT) as it was cheaper than a factory order! Strange that. The reason I got it was it makes the left lever look more 'technical'. :rolleyes:
