If i was to buy the comfyline again, that's the way i would definitey be heading.

If you can stretch, the base GTI of course.

I struggled between the Comfortline over the GTI when buying the MK VI. I know the GTI is a more establlished vehicale with more grunt and some nice features like XDS, Paddle shifts etc, but in the end I chose the Comfortline because of price and the quieter drive, and used that price difference on the options. The new MK VII will now have the XDS technology. I guess I am still struggling to find a justification for the GTI. I am gonna revisit the GTI vs Comfortline thread, think here is one somewhere in the forum. I am currently leaning between the TDI and the GTI. Spoke to dealer this week. $1K will book the car but how do you book a car when you do not know what the final price will be and what options you can choose? Wonder if anyone out there has placed bookings?
