We can now confirm that pricing and specification for GTI and GTD are as in the below price list and that Automatic Distance Control (ADC) is standard on both cars.
We delayed the open for order date by a day to make sure we published the correct prices and specifications. Customer orders will be built from week 22.
Only market entry and function cars will be built before the week 22 (27 May) model year 14 change; these will be built without ADC but with cruise control instead.
I don't think we can believe the VW UK spec, even when they have posted this.
All the review cars we are reading about now have ADC on them, and one review even states ADC is the reason the new GTi has a lower insurance group.
Why then would the first UK cars not have this also, would they cost more to insure?

They are (I'm reading between the lines) the dealer demo cars that won't have ADC possibly. Some of the early GT mk7s had slightly different specs to those published too so take a long hard breath before collecting your new car!!
I doubt the lack ADC will make a difference if you bought an ex-demo mk7 GTI as far as insurance goes as it'd be a logistical headache for the insurance companies to keep up with it. However caveat emptor here!!
