GTI for the win, when the baby doesn't go to sleep you'll have to take it for a drive to get it to go to sleep.  But what baby can sleep though that tractor engine noise......


It's not too late to get the GTI  :evil:

Well after scouting the country for a GTD and within my price range ive gone and done it, I'm not happy really if i'm honest long waiting list for golf's ? The spec is 5 door Carbon grey, DSG, Xenon's, winter pack, Charlston Shadow's , I might get Acc? :smiley:,

Steve

Great colour choice - stick with it.
Go for ACC if you can stretch but why not ditch the Charlston shadows (what's the cost?) and stick with the 'couvers off your current car (swap them over for some joe-average alloys before you trade it in) - they'll look far nicer IMHO and that'll trade off the ACC cost?

You can always buy the Charlston's later if wanted - they're on eBay on and off

Also, what about Dynaudio - i think I'd be tempted for this if I was ordering from new.

Other things can be retro-fitted but ACC and Dynaudio can't be (easily) done without ££££

GTD 10 plate fully loaded. Ordered new GTD
Why have you ordered a new one when you have the same one only 1 year old?

It must be you bought second hand and its the wrong colour or doesn't have the options you since found out you need.

ACC, Dynaudio, Xenons, Front + Rear Parking Sensors and Sunroof should be factory orders.

ACC is a must. Makes a huge difference to the ride especially in London and is wonderful on motorways. Dylan would really appreciate it. Without ACC, I would hate my car. It is the best option I specified. Don't listen to those who did not spec it. Sour grapes IMO.

Dynaudio is very good value for money and well worth having.

Xenons also worth having if you do lots of kerb crawling at night. Expensive.

Parking sensors are a must for both front and rear. Very good value for money.

Sunroof is not on my radar.

LISTEN TO UNCLE ASKER AS HE KNOWS BEST!!! :grin:

I would also recomend ACC just so you don't give that poor kid a shaking when their little and fragile.
 
Parking sensors are very handy as your going to be distracted.

Sunroof is a personal thing but for me i use it 99.9% of the time to lighten the cabin and get fresh air flow. Very handy if some sudden smells start coming from a passenger :evil:

Uncle Asker speaks sense , Ive changed my order to white and ditched the metallic paint , metallic swirls easy anyway, also gone for ACC .

The Charlestons shadows will look very smart on white , who's got any photo's in white ?  :undecided:

Tiguan quicker than the Golf

Excellent. Perfect spec now. White is a fabulous colour and no shitty swirls to drive you mad. You did the right thing. Glad I was of some help. :kiss:

No swirls if you use the Two Bucket method and use a lambs wool mitt  :shocked:
