OH NO they've binned the Tartan - leather only on 2012 MY ;-(

Lovely sticky leather!  Especially in this heat!

But I don't like my bony arse on VW Plastic Leather.

So, if there is no more Jacara, the iconic status has been diminished considerably.

Our cloth cars have just plummeted down in value by at least £2000!

Next Bi-Xenons, rear camera, parking sensors, cruise, ACC, sunroof, RNS510 and more will be free.

Used GTIs will eventually available for £1.

Happy days.

Asker,
As said above they did this exactly the same with the mk5 at its end of life, (leather standard) did not make the older ones plummit in value until the mk6 came out.

Snoops:
When do you think the Mk7 GTI will be available in the UK?

[GolfTi]

I think the mk5 had leather as standard around 12-18 months before the mk6 was introduced.
So if that's the same this time then the mk7 could be out tail end of 2012/early 2013.

GTI summer/late 2013.

Personally I hate leather and will never buy another car with it, even if it is free.

I also hate sitting on cow in a car or at home. I'll eat it, though.

[GolfTi]

I think it may well help those of us with Jacara when/if we ever sell.

There are plenty of people like me who won't have leather.

As above, only picked up my new GTD on Tuesday from Lee at Cheltenham VW and specifically did not want leather, same when i had my MK5 GTI I was only interested in cloth. Wouldn't have said no to the free bluetooth though as i just had to buy a kit from a member on here.
