Luxury Pack on a GTi/GTD/R - £125 - Electrically foldable door mirrors, reverse activated kerb view adjustment on passenger's side.
Winter Pack on a GTi/GTD - £365 - Headlight washers, heated front seats, heated windscreen washer jets and low washer fluid warning light.
Winter Pack on an R - £345 - Headlight washers, heated front seats, heated windscreen washer jets and low washer fluid warning light.

Winter Pack - £20 cheaper on an R as it already comes with Headlight washers with the Bi-Xenons (standard).

All the above without the part-leather interior which is a waste of money.

Winter/Luxury Packs are not a waste of money.

It depends which options you have already picked.
I had headlight washers / low washer light standard with my xenons, and headed seats standard with my leather seats.
If I choose the Winter Pack, the only thing extra I get for about £250 is heated water jets.  Now THATS a waste of money!!

If you order part leather, which is a waste of money IMVHO, then I'd agree that the Winter Pack is adding insult to injury! :rolleyes:

Nice car, Golf R. :smiley:

Me too, unless it is of very high quality.
The leather in the Golf is 'painted' stuff, a great amount is part-leather, looks cheap, it wears very badly, puts a shine on woolen trousers and needs 'cooling' in summer. :rolleyes:

I grant you it's not the best hide in the world, but it sure as hell beats fabric as an option. Cloth seats in a 35k motor.....! :sick:

Ok Steve, perhaps the retro tartan looks ok in a GTI/D, but have you seen the cloth option on the R? Not good. Leather was the only sensible option.

Agreed - the standard seats in the R aren't really my cup of tea.

I like the ED30 ones best - tartan in the middle with leather bolsters.  The best of both worlds.
