Damn keyless entry i forgot to add that....

Had it on BMW, kept on going back to see if door was locked and then kept opening it.  (chicken egg chicken etc)
Wouldn't bother with it.

Overpriced at £34,802 (when well specced) and without £1000 Performance Pack. Too expensive for a car which is not Premium and which is too slow in comparison to the BMW M135i (£37,905 when well specced) and too expensive when compared to a BMW 125iM Sport (£34,710 when well specced). The Mk7 R will probably be the one for grown ups.

bmw isn't a premium brand it's a common brand

BMW= Mainstream

Does anybody know how heavy the gti is ? All i can find is some stupid bar graph type style thing that doesn't
give any numbers and says the gtd is faster at accelerating.

It's good to believe in something even if it is dilusional.

Not dilusional, i remember when someone thought their GTI was fantastic

What's your opinions on leather seats? I rather like the look of them and having sat in a GT with leather seats in the showroom they felt rather comfy! Though I've heard they can take a lot of effort to maintain.... Either way I'll be going with heated seats - but do you think leather is worth it?

IMO No. The 'leather' will start to look worn very quickly.  This is due to the modern processing/manufacturing process with most cars these days unfrotunately.

My spec is now a very non premium one for a non premium car. 
£26,655
Non premium Urinal Grey
3 door manual
park assist just for the hell of it
rear camera to show off with
non premium basic nav

That'll do.

Can live without the rest.

Maybe a round £27k with the service plan? When the hell do I keep a car for 3 years though??? Hmmm...

Performance pack? Not sure, depends if it reflects in future value predictions?

+1 on this, not sure I'd order full leather. Mine is showing signs of a car that should perhaps be a lot older, no damage just sagging a bit. Can you get heated seats without selecting leather then?
