is upgrading to the pp worth while? the reason i ask is because i don't drive fast, to be honest i'd almost call myself a sunday driver (meaning i'll stick around the speed limit or just over) i drive on motorways too but not often, it's mainly A+B roads and through town. i was thinking of the pp because of the bigger breaks as stopping quicker is always good if needed and the 7 speed box as i'd think it would be smoother (not raving at 4500 to get up a hill at 30mph). just 3 more weeks until my order goes in so need to get it right 
thanks
Do the bigger brakes reduce stopping distances?
The standard brakes are probably going to be able to stop the lighter standard GTI just as fast. For shorter stopping distances you should change the Bridgestone tyres for something better.
The bigger brakes will resist brake fade better. However, you will never experience brake fade given the way you drive.
The jury is still out on the advantages of the 7-speed box. On paper it is slightly faster and slightly more economical.
The third thing is the VAQ mechanical diff. Again, unless you like accelerating hard out of roundabouts you are never going to notice.
The forth thing is the small improvement to power and torque. Again, this will make no noticeable difference in everyday driving.
Is the performance pack worth it? Yes! Are you going to notice any difference in your daily drive? No! So is it worth it to you?
For the way you drive - have you considered another model with the new 1.5TSI Evo engine? That engine would probably suit your driving style better.
