More Options to come? UK Spec

[Gryzor]

OK, I just called UK Customer Services, who in turn have just called sales for me.  Based on this information:

• Colour MFD is standard on the GTI, optional on the GT spec down
• Heated Front Windscreen for the UK is currently only being considered and may be available some time in the future

That's good news on the colour screen, but not so good on the heated windscreen.  My partner has had that on her last couple of Minis and its amazing on a frosty morning.

The heated screen is a €366 option here in Ireland. I was tempted, especially given the recent cold spell, but I decided in the end I wanted other features that bit more!

I'm fairly sure the colour screen is standard here too, but it's hardly a big deal either way. Certainly wouldn't pay for it.

Thanks Gryzor, that's very interesting on the colour screen as that's £135 saved!

I just sent VW a message via their web site asking them to add the heated windscreen option.  They're more likely to add it if they think there's a demand for it.

Usual UK spec goes with additions over the lower spec.

so what do we get over the GTD and GT for GTi?

What do we get in lieu of the Sat Nav on the GT??

Sorry for beating a dead horse (I updated the yay or nay thread!), but my dealer has confirmed that this is indeed standard on the GTI.

Don't be sorry, you've just knocked £135 off the price of my car so I'm a happy boy! Good work!!

Happy to oblige, do I get some commission on that?!
