GTI Edition 50 first press release

[JoeGTI]

I thought it was always known that adding the PP forced you to also spec the semi-slicks. Is there a suggestion here that the configurators are misleading and the semi-slicks shouldn't add any extra cost above the PP cost? On the Irish configurator, it adds another €1400 ish, making the total cost of the PP over 7k!

That wasn’t there in the uk until yesterday

Just come off the phone to the dealers and they had a bulletin come through yesterday saying if you speck the performance pack then they have to buy the tyres at £880

Its definitely always been this way on the Irish configurator.

These configurators are always full of holes. AFAIK, the "Black pack" on the GTI / CS is still something mad like £1500 on the UK configurator whereas its only a couple of hundred in every other market (including Ireland).

Agreed Joe, it was that way on the Irish configurator from launch. I should know, spent a while playing when it when I was flirting with the idea of buying one haha!

To be fair, while not perfect either, the Irish configurator tends to be more reliable than the UK configurator.

haha yeah!
One possible "glitch" I've seen on the Irish one is that the "Discover media" (Sat nav basically) is down as an optional extra. Surely this can't be right, seeing as Nav is standard on basic Golfs these days as far as I know. I dare not ask a dealer, just incase it becomes costly!!
