The difference between an optioned Golf GTI (leather, DA, Bi-Xennon) and a comparably configured Mercedes Benz A250 sport is roughly $5k

I ordered my gti (manual no options) on October 12th (ie release date) for $44k on road. That's only $2.5k on top of list price

Just got back from dealer today. Was told that Sunroof is NOT available as an option in the GTI PP!!! Makes absolutely no sense. Who makes these decisions?????

The sunroof is not available on any overseas model with 19' rims specced and I assume it's the same here. It has something to do with either overall weight or durability on the harsher ride.

Add to that VWA's habit of bundling options and not allowing extras and that's probably another reason you can't do it (PP with manual being a classic example)
