well finally after over 4 months my car has finally arrived, and has it been worth the wait, oh yes not half. For the past week the stealer lent me a MKV 2.0 GT with dsg gearbox, which i thought was great but the dsg in the GTI is even better. The shifts are quicker and smoother, having the paddles is fantastic, for those of you going for the dsg you have made the right choice, it really is as good as the press say it is.
As for my other options list, center armrest is great, esp if you have dsg as you can sit in total comfort when in auto, it also looks alot better than the large space left when you do not have it (i think you get cup holders instead). The leather is fantastic, it looks great and feels very tough, to be honest i would have never bought one without leather but either way the leather is nice quality. Hi-Line comp is great esp for ?45, everyone should get that, i have managed to turn of that stupid feature that only unlocks the drivers door, now all doors unlock with one press, i have also turned on door locking when you drive aware (anti-hijak), there are lots of other options but no real intructions in the books so it is a case of trial and error. The winter pack (heated washer jets, headlamp washers and low fliud level) i can't really comment on but will be good if it all works. The folding mirros with puddle lighting is a nice feature, when you unlock the car the area around the door is illumiated for a light under the wing mirror. The 18's look the biz defo the option to have, the ride is not compromised atall and there is no harshness from pot-hole etc
Overall i think the car is fantastic and quality is easily as good as my bmw's, i cannot comment on the performance yet as i am still taking it easy.
For those of you waiting it will be worth it, believe me.[

The only bad thing is that the stealer didn't put any petrol in it !, i had about 50miles b4 i needed to fill up !, nice
Does anyone know what comfort indi is in the highline comp options ?, there are plenty of menus but no instructions.
