Canada Pricing 2 door vs 4 door Mk7

[ELHOTA]

1. In Canada, unfortunately the base model GTI priced at $27,995 is only available for the 2 door model. The 4 door GTI is available with the Autobahn package and is priced at $32,895. The 2 door with the Autobahn package is priced at $31,995.

I really prefer the 4 door model over the 2 door, but am I willing to pay $4,900 for it? Hell no! The 2 door has the exact same interior dimensions as the 4 door in terms of cargo space, rear legroom, rear headroom etc. I'm not willing to pay $4900 just to get the following upgrades for the Autobahn package:

18" Austin alloy wheels with all-season tires
Automatic headlights with coming and leaving home function
Auto-dimming rear view mirror
Bi-xenon headlights with Adaptive Front-light System (AFS)
including red accent strip
Fender® Premium Audio System – 8 speakers plus subwoofer
Front LED fog lights
KESSY keyless access with push-button start
LED signature daytime running lights
Light Assist (automatic high beam control)
Panorama tilt and slide power sunroof
Rain-sensing wipers

The strange thing is that all the GTIs I've seen on the road so far are 4 doors. Which means that most people are willing to pay the extra $$ for the 4 door and those options above- and VW Canada is taking advantage of this!!
Is there anyone else out there who agrees with me that it ain't worth upgrading to the 4 door in Canada?

I paid $31,500 for my 4-door. And all that stuff above was worth the extra, at least for me. Fender system is nice, I can't do without sunroof, plus bi-xenons/fog lights totally change the look of the car.
I was about to buy the 2 door version with sport package, but that was about 3k less than autobahn. Xenons/fogs and fender system alone where worth it. Then the price difference between 2 and 4 door was less than 1k, so I ended up with 4-door - I'm quite happy.

Edit: I know that here in Canada we always get shafted and can't pick our options - they're always bundled into some ridiculous upgrades. Saying that, if you break it all down into individual components that extra 5k is well worth it IMHO.

As usual we are getting screwed here in Canada compared to USA.
Do like me and send a complaint to VW Customer care. Price difference with USA is a shame, not even mentioning that we have only the choice between 4 colors for the GTI here. Canada, the country where you pay more for less.

It's only $900 for the two door as 2 door to 4 door autobahn is $900. You just do not have option for base 4 door. The +$4,000 cost up for autobahn includes other items instead of the extra doors. Actually $900 for two door is not bad. If no one will sit in you back seat then get 2 door or fly down to USA and buy a base 4 door.
