We're thinking of getting a fully loaded GT and just found this rather alarming post: http://www.volkswagenforum.co.uk/f92/ive-cancelled-my-order-golf-gt-8262.html

We wanted all the tech including the electric front seats and seat memory, xenons with highbeam assist etc. Is it true VW have mis-advertised the available options and cars are arriving WITHOUT seat memory and other things? :eek:
I'm afraid so - it was me who was the OP and cancelled my order! Not only do memory seats not exist, nor does electric operation of the passenger seat, no LED DRLs (despite VW's advertising), no Traffic sign recognition. And over 532 GT models were delivered to the UK without auto folding mirrors. It has been the biggest shambles I have ever seen for a car launch. Also the CO2 was originally claimed as 110 then VW UK (and only VW UK) maintained it was 112 (which has a big impact on self-employed people) then at the last moment admitted that it was 110 after all!
I cancelled my order and ordered an Audi instead.
