Don't know if anyone noticed, but the UK configurator for the lowly Mk8's is online and working now too.
Golf 8 R-Line 1.5 eTSI 150PS 7-speed DSG 5 Door with most of the toys is just under 35k....
You can see from the configurator some of the options too - the HUD is £620 which I guess isn't too expensive.
The IQ lights are the killers.
