Configurator now includes GTi and the brochure and price lists have been updated to include it too.
Also on the finance calculator.https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/financeCalculator/cho...
Think Andrew Chapple's images have persuaded me that red with a black roof is the way to go. Was swaying towards black but I think you lose too much of the detail, the side stripes, and the contrast of a different coloured roof.
As far as options are concerned, I think I'll definitely go with climate control, simply because I think the rotary dials look a bit basic, but that's it.

Cheers for the flickr page link - nice to see a few more "real life" shots 
Just spent a bit of time on the configurator. Just under £15k for a decent spec one in Silver with a decent spread of options or £15,300 with the Beats upgrade. Agree about the climate control though - I don't think a car that small really needs it, but IMO the interior looks much better with that setup when compared to the manual dials.
Quite a few amusing VW options available too - Kayak / surf board holder anyone

Some less than impressive mpg numbers on those pictures... I hope he'd been giving it a good seeing to?As far as options are concerned, I think I'll definitely go with climate control, simply because I think the rotary dials look a bit basic, but that's it.

Looks like the city stop thing needs to be ticket for auto wipers and lights - a must in 2016 I think.
Parking sensors look to be standard, but the rear camera at £160 seems a no brainier - even if it works through your phone!
Other than the above, climate and a black roof and free red paint I think that's the direction I'd be pushing the wife in! (unless I'm missing anything else)

You have to spec the Cruise & Park pack at £300 to get rear parking sensors.Parking sensors look to be standard, but the rear camera at £160 seems a no brainier - even if it works through your phone!

I think it would have looked good in Lapiz Blue, like the Golf R.andrewparker said:

Looking at this or a 595 now. roughly the same price when some boxes are ticked.
Anyone got any clue at all on lead times?
I had a 595 a couple of years ago - utterly bonkers to drive, exhilarating and unhinged, but the driving position and especially the ride quality were just too much for me. Anyone got any clue at all on lead times?
I changed it for a Fiesta ST which was better in every way, but lacked any of the specialness that the Abarth had.
Try one for an extended period of time!
