I always thought the gunmetal grey colour (don't know its actual colour code) 3 door DSG was the pick of the crop, personally
It's steel grey! I must admit - mine in this colour, with 3 door, DSG, Xenon's, has kept me happy for years! Only option I think it doesn't have is a sunroof. Oh, and maybe 'privacy glass', but not bothered about that... oh, and then parking sensors...haha!
I picked this over a poverty spec 5-dr Pirelli Golf. My ED30 was advertised as manual on VW's website, so was slightly disappointed when I got all the way to Cardiff to find it was DSG, but the test drive absolutely changed my opinion.
Good luck on your hunt Goldenboy!
