Just spec'd up a Golf GTi.

For me the only definite no brainers are the Performance Pack and the servicing.  It almost paid for itself on what it did to the resale value.

I've also gone for Winter Pack (can't live without the heated seats).

I'm toying with the idea of the keyless entry and/or the reverse camera.  The sat nav I wasn't sure about.  I'd be looking at the DNS as opposed to the pro.

I'm ordering the car early next week after I've rung around and made sure I'm getting it for the best price I can.

Have you had a look at the cars the Cheltenham VW have available, there may be something there that suits with fast delivery. I got my GTD from Lee and it arrived with me today, delighted with the deal and the overall service.

They've knocked a couple of grand off so far, but they're not moving too much on the price as it stands.  I think it'll be a black car, for the free paint! Haha

I absolutely want an R.  Obviously because the 4WD makes it a practical drive in any weather condition….


My other half didn't believe that line either.  :grin:
