I was expecting ESP and Climatronic as standard.

They don't even give you traction control and believe me that engine is a handful in the wet, even in the dry you can spin the wheels.

Does seem expensive now

Lets hope the spec changes again

I'd rather have the Cupra 160TDi - seems a much better deal

In the newest VW spec brochure it says additional equipment for GT is

6J Montreal II with 205/55/16 tyres

This should mean it will have lower and stiffer springs than the Sport as this comes with optional 205/45/16

The only other trim is "Le mans cloth" & 6 speed gearbox.

yeah the suspension should be stronger to handle those wheels and tyres

i think its actually 205/45/16 tyres.

and 9.3 0-60mph sounds good to me.

Yeah I think they have the tyres wrong in the price guide under the standard equipment - Looks like someone just cut and pasted it from the Bora section!
