Just ordered my Ed 30!!

Wouldn't be without my sunrooof - had one on my previous GTi too.

Never had a sunroof in any car I have had and living in Scotland don't really need one to be honest 

[AlanH]

Ah, but down here in England where the sun always shines and we never have thunderstorms, the sunroof is great on a warm summer's day Makes the interior a lot brighter too.

[Makaveli]

Yeah did think of the brightness issue as you are right it would make the interior lighter - but we have already had our three sunny days this year and as I won't get it till Sept/Oct then all I would see out of it would be clouds or a layer of snow

Highline also gives you Satnav information (when used in conjunction with MFD2 radio).
Directions, road name, time to arrive, distance to go etc.

Whilst you may have not gone for the satnav on day 1, I didn't order it either but got one off ebay cheap and it's an easy fit. If you get the highline now at least you have the option later.
Highline = best value for money.

I love the xenons, but it is a bit of a luxury and hard to justify value wise.
The DSG is an awsome option, but so is the price tag, did u get chance to test drive a dsg?
I went with the sunroof but you have to open the window at the same time or it plays havoc with the wind noise. That is the 1 extra I could have done without.

My philosphy was F*@k it stretch myself cash wise and not regret getting the toys that would be too difficult to fit post manufacture.

[Makaveli]

Never got a chance to test drive one with DSG but from what I have read I am in for a treat!!!  It was a standard GTI and that was a good drive so am really looking forward to my first go in an ED 30 eith DSG

IMO the MFSW is a must. Since I've got the car I virtually never touch the head unit and it comes with the Highline comp. Agree with the comments regarding the armrest, another essential bit of kit.

[AlanH]

Agreed - MFSW is expensive but very useful.
