Gotta admit the base spec was what sold the GTi to me - no added options here
It's sooo much better than the competition - even vs the TT which was my other choice. That would be +£500 for the comfort pack (parking sensors, cruise control, rain & light sensors) and S Line spec for the other key bits like LEDs. And of course a higher list price and monthly payment as well!
Plus the GTi will save me around £1,000 over 3 years on fuel efficiency, lower insurance & tax!
