Long time away from the forum & a new GTI ordered!

[Mark V GTD]

What do your get with the winter pack that you don't get anyway? Is it just heated seats?

On a GTI its heated seats and heated washer nozzles. The larger reservoir (which they never mention), headlamp jets and low fluid warning light come with it anyway. VW should go the Audi route and just offer heated seats on their own....

I've found the winter pack to be a must-have extra on my Mk5 and it's proven to be a good choice what with some of the really bad winters I've had where I live over the last 5 years.  With my Mk7 I went for the winter pack & climate windscreen too.

Went to do the finance paperwork today and saw it in the flesh for the first time.  Pick her up on Monday

Sounds like a fab car Steve! Enjoy!

Yeh, nice spec Steve, bet you can't wait! I went option heavy on my GTD too, but I don't regret any of them - all very well designed and use them all loads (even used the heated seats in Summer when I had a bad back!) The dynaudio sounds amazing too, had it at 75% volume for the first time the other day and it was crystal clear and the bass was awesome.

Thanks chaps.  Can't wait!  I haven't specified anything I won't use so I don't feel I have wasted money on them.

I'm a bit concerned with the keyless option I went for what with all the stories about thefts and so on, so the dealer is getting a tracker fitted that I requested and it will all be done before I collect on Monday.  It will help shave off a few quid with the insurance too.

I have gone over budget by a few grand which isn't ideal right before Xmas, but it's not every day you buy yourself a brand new GTI, so what the heck, might as well do it properly...

I collected the car this evening!  It wasn't really an ideal time to take some good photos but this will have to do for now
