The dealer has spoke to vw uk and they said you can not have sunset red on the GTI also the sunroof and 19" wheels are a no go if configured together.You can still configure all the above on VW main site :undecided: ADC is supposedly standard as is the colour displayI.if you get what you expect when the car turns up it will be a miracle :angry:

:grin: To be honest I don't think they really know at VW UK, I'm kind of wondering if the first UK deliveries that have been orderded will come with ADC or not.

I'm going to make sure I save a current PDF of the GTD spec so if there are any shortcomings I can be sure they were meant to be standard when I ordered my car. Want to make sure VW don't make a sneaky alteration to the spec/brochure later (for omissions - couldn't care if they want to give me more equipment than I was expecting). Is the colour MFD supposed to be standard right now? In the Golf pricelist (page 17) it is listed as a £135 option for all models (excluding S, for which it is unavailable). ADC is standard, according to the pricelist "cruise control" is standard equipment for all models except the "S" and there is no mention of ADC in optional extras specifically. I take that to mean that "cruise control" is ADC. ADC is only mentiuoned in spec for SE and then it is assumed that for all models above it, it is stated as each progressive model only mentions additional spec over the previous model.

I am intrigued by the "anti tramp" function. Do they mean the anti hijack function that locks the doors automatically when you've reached 10mph and stay locked, or do they have a device to dissuade Bulgarians from wanting to wash your winscreen with a dirty scrap of newspaper for £2?

ADC - yes expecting, but not that I would have spec'd as an option.
Colour Display - not expecting, but nice to have for free.

I was hoping the winter pack would be standard as the early press release stated it had it, and £350 for heated seats and washers is a lot IMO.

Specifically on the GTI/GTD part of the UK VW site
 http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/new/golf-gti-vii/which-model/compare/safety-and-security?p=2

 ADC is standard and colour MFD display is a £135 option http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/new/golf-gti-vii/which-model/compare/drivers-assistance?p=2

Just been to dealers who spoke to VW UK,according to VW UK ADC and colour MFD are standard,but anything could happen :rolleyes:
