Take note, if you like the LED daylight driving light thingy, it only comes with Xenon option.

But apart from that, cracking car.

dont dealers like to tint other customers' cars instead?

Re my options, just realised I am restricted in aftermarket add ons as this is a lease car (all options must be on at time of purchase/lease). Whilst I dont "need" nav and sunroof just adds to the lustre and finish of this beautiful vehicle. So be patient and wait; also gives me tons of time for an orderly sale of existing car on private market.

LOL!

Hard for me to go past "appliance white" and the options we selected. How are you finding the ACC? Got a photo of your rig?

I originally wanted Tornado Red without ACC but definately with the RVC as I have a (now) 7 year old and wanted to be as safe as possible around him. Due to availability I ended up taking the CW with ACC because it was the only one with RVC/Sunroof I could get without a special order. The dealer did the BT/MDI but using factory parts so I was happy to accept a car ordered without so long as they were installed in PD. THey werent but it was remedied soon after anyway.

So life with ACC/DCC - well I am very happy I got the car with it although if I hadnt then I don't really know if I would miss it. I drive it in Normal mode generally but when I put the DSG into S I put the ACC on Sport and have a very good time. I rarely if ever use comfort - we have a big wagon for comfort driving...

Beautiful looking classic ride GTi11.5: sounds like your a happy customer!

BTW GTi11.5, was yours a factory tint or did the dealer organise local?

On that note can anyone recommend a Melbourne tint shop and likely cost? (at this stage still have factory tint on order)

Probably coming in a little late, but from what i have noticed so far the GTD seems to have much better resale over the GTI. I would say this has a lot to do with the fact that there is heaps more MK6 GTI's on the market over the GTD's, you can get a second hand MK6 GTI now for under 30k, I am yet to see any GTD's under 36k. This may all change in another a few years, but just something i have noticed over the last 12 months.
