It was working out alot cheaper, when i say alot, 2/3k. I got a cracking discount + also got the £1500 finance contribution which you dont get with the GT. The only difference between mine and the GT (as far as I know) is the leather interior and the silver insert around the grille between the fog lights. Got a real good offer with regards to the extras too :-)

Very nice car. I had a Match for a few weeks when the Passat was in for some warranty paintwork, and was really impressed with the spec as standard

The only difference between mine and the GT (as far as I know) is the leather interior and the silver insert around the grille between the fog lights.

The givaway that your's isn't a GT (appart from the bits you mentioned and the wheels) are the rear lights. The GT has "Cherry Red" lights, as fitted to the GTI/D before LED rears came along.

Just one thing you are missing is Skoda Yeti exhaust tips. The best £24 you'll spend on your car.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Lovely. Sounds like a good deal there. What did you end up paying for it if you don't mind me asking?
Does the GT now get leather as standard? I thought it was just the GTI & GTD
How do you find going from the petrol to the diesel?
I found my 140 took a good few thousand miles to loosen up.
Oh, its well worth going and seeing The Doc for some surgery  :laugh: Makes the car complete and gives you more MPG.
