Taken the plunge!

The deposit is in and I'm now just over a week or so away from picking it up!

Was checking out some dealers, just to see what each of the options were like when I saw a Roc with this Spec in the showroom:

09 Reg 2.0 TSI
4300 miles
Viper Green
Manual
!8"Interlagos
Rear Parking Sensors
Bi-Xenon Headlamps
Panoramic Sunroof
Winter Pack
Black Leather
Sat Nav
Electric Folding Mirrors

And at what I considered a bargain price! It was at that moment, after sitting in the drivers seat, that that was the car for me! Only missing the Cruise Control and Dynaudio upgrade, but at the same time getting Leather and the Sat Nav, which were too expensive when I was speccing a New car.

Having not seen the green before, the moment I saw it in the metal, I thought it suited the Roc very well. Plus having an all black interior contrasts so well to the Green of the car!

I've had a look at the 2009 vs 2010 differences and must say I do like the blue and red of the dials, and find the steering wheel of the 2010 models to look a little more....generic than the 2009 one.

Overall, very happy! Paid my deposit today and should be picking it up anytime after the 27th. I'll definitely be getting some pics up once I've got it

I'm sure there's other threads on here to say that Cruise Control can easily be installed by the dealer and probably cheaper than the factory price, so there's no need to miss out on that option if you want it.

Yes, I'm pretty sure I've read that it can be retro-fitted. To be honest I only added it as an option as I was still below my budget for the car. I thought it would have been nice to have should I want to use it. I will probably leave that option for now, but definitely bare in mind the retro-fitting.
