Title: What's standard on the GTi?
Post by: golf nutter on August 04, 2011, 10:19:00 am

I am going to be picking up my MY08 GTi at the weekend.  Does anyone have a link or .pdf of a GTi brochure or owners manual please?  I am trying to find out the standard spec for a GTi of this year.  I have a general Golf brochure from 2007 but it's not explicitly clear what is standard on the GTi...for instance, the convenience pack seems to be an option for S, SE, GT etc, so i am guessing its standard on the GTi?  Thanks.

This is the brochure you require

It has ended now now but if you email him I'm sure he will send it to you

I've got a GTI-only brochure....


....but it's from VW Australia, so I don't know how much spec would be the same as the UK.

It states...
Body colour bumpers    Standard    Nov 2005 to Now
Rear spoiler    Standard    Launch to   Now     

Those are definitely not true.

i noticed that.  there's quite a few things that seemed to be standard earlier on that became optional later.  my car being an 08 will be one of the last AFAIK and i am surprised VW dropped some of the standard stuff.
