19" Pretoria, Discover Pro and Adaptive chassis would be the only options on a 3dr DSG car. Would love to see what the price of that in the UK would be. I'm betting far more than my M135i. I originally had my heart set on waiting for the Mk7 R, then was disappointed and looked at the GTI. Before realising how much more you get with a BMW.

Indicators come as standard or were they still extra cost?

No indicators have a sideways option on them anyway. Same as Mike above, you are too busy pushing people out the way to indicate. ;)

So long as it isn't an ED30 on 312s, they couldn't brake test a cross channel ferry.

Well, order books opened today. Who has ordered one then? What options specced?

I'd love one tbh, to join the M135i on my driveway, well in my garage. Couldn't give up my fantastic BMW for one though sadly. :( Love it too much.

Spec wise I've gone 3 door DSG, in Lapiz Blue, 19" Pretorias , ACC and winter pack, standard spec like the Mk7 GTI is daily strong, the standard trim is alcantara  and cloth, who knows when it will term up but currently working on April 2014

Not everyones cup of tea but hey ho

That's insane. VW really need to sort their act out. M135i's take 5 weeks. I expect there to be 6-12 month waits on the Golf R for a considerable time. Just like the stupid delays on the Mk6 R and Rocco R had.
