WOW! Enhanced specification for Golf GTD and GTI! Happy customers ; )

[Exonian]

Bloody good marketing, that!!    Shame they have already put the prices up to cover these " Freebies " 

And a few smug smiles from anyone who ordered fairly basic spec cars just before 27th April who might be getting over £1000's worth of freebies?!!!
 

Alas, not me!

Good for them    It's not often you get something for nothing. 

Commiserations to you Mr Ex   

Story of my life Mme B!

I ordered two years too early 
All I got for free was a six month wait 

[am1w]

Winter Pack – £400

Just a small correction.
Winter Packs have never been £400.
£250 with leather and £360 with Cloth for the R and was the same previously for both the GTI/GTD.

Monsieur Ex, that's why you should never, ever order the first off the line of a new model.  Wait till the teething issues have shown their ugly face and for the (not quite, cough, cough) 'freebies' to roll in 

Mind you, doesn't always transpire, still waiting for my R freebies    I suppose the Tech Pack was a very small sweetener

That's right.  And with leather having heated seats as standard, all you were getting for your £250 (when specced with leather), was heated washer jets which are next to useless

Winter Pack with leather
Winter pack including headlight washers (mandatory with Xenons), heated front seats (standard with leather), heated windscreen washer jets and low washer fluid warning light.

I found the heated washer jets quite useful. You also get low washer fluid warning light. I must admit £250 is rather a lot for these two items.

Low washer fluid light is on any car that has xenons - part of the regulations that cover them say you have to have it.

So you are only getting heated washer jets for your £250

Can't say I've ever missed the heated washer jets.  The low fluid warning is handy, especially as the bloody annoying headlight washers use so much screenwash (and make a mess) to the point where I do always carry extra sceenwash in the boot, along with quick detailer and micro fibres (for bird poo emergencies) plus a host of other car related junk.  Ever prepared   

I really must pull that headlight washer fuse

I ordered my new GTI last week, and suspected this might come to fruition having been avidly reading this site since starting to do my research.
When I rang the dealer this morning they said they would confirm back to me. I'd ordered the Winter Pack but not the nav or keyless, and when they called me half an hour ago, they confirmed these were now all included, but also mentioned that the car price has increased by £500 on June 1st. Has anyone else heard this? I'm trying to get my £380 refunded for the Winter Pack.

[davedodd]

Garage have confirmed they got it wrong re. the price rise, so £380 coming back to me when I collect the car in September. Good news

[NeilH]

Good news. I ordered winter pack and keyless so hopefully the lease costs will reduce a bit. Feeling pretty lucky right now.
