Some people just prefer a Diesel engine for the driving style, that American V8 type low end torque and lazy revving nature and with a remap or box the Diesel can hold its own at normal road speeds with some pretty potent petrol engines so there's no reason to jump to a GTI (which in itself is pretty torquey in mk7 guise).
Whether or not you do come up with a car decision Mr N, I'd wait for the VW pricing to settle down post BW22 as the configurators still look a mess. I just had a quick nose around to see if anything has changed in the Performance Golf section of the VW Config. and there are still those weird price anomalies that look like the nav was supposed to come as standard on the GTI/D.
Then I had a quick look around the Scirocco config. wondering if the Gen II stuff was on there yet. You can no longer get folding mirrors for a fiver but the paint prices have gone haywire. The only free one looked to be Unano (which you probably couldn't order if you wanted to), red costs £90 more than white, some metallics are now £610 and some £540 :roll eyes:
The price lists the dealers have from VW make no more sense either unless they've released new ones very recently.
