Only comment I can make is...depending on what sort of driving you do the high beam assist is a cheap but very good function. I do drive quite a bit on country roads at night and it works very well....very happy I added it.

Cheers Ian I'll look into that, on another note I am curious about lowering springs for the gti. Is their any chance someone could post me up a link to how different springs look or a few pics. I think springs is the only option as I want to close the arch gap without to many problems.

I'm in the same boat looking for a 3dr dsg with PP

Options

Keyless
Park assist steering
Rear camera

Local dealers won't play ball in discounting and told it will be 6 months before I get the keys once I order

What is a reasonable discount ? 10%

Would agree about high beam assist, definitely worth it for the money.

I added park assist as it not only uses the extra sensors for parking itself, but it adds 360 degree coverage for the parking sensors. Also, it was only £150ish

10-12% is pretty much all you'll get as far as discounts go.

Mine's Pure white , but I added leather (not keen on the checquered cloth), dynaudio (I spent £1200 on ICE in my Astra - never again), park assist (cheap option), high beam assist (cheap option), keyless (liked the idea of it and a cheap(ish) option) and rear view camera (cheap option). I also added PP as the diff (on the rare occasions I have a spirited drive) is worth it on it's own and the brakes are superb and look loads better than the non PP brakes. Never driven a non PP car so can't comment on if it's better than a non PP.

Happy with (and would recommend) all my choices of options (although I realise not everyone shares my views on the cloth, dynaudio and PP) as for the money, they all add great functionality to the car
