I am in the market for an MK6, new or used. Is my understanding correct that VWoA quietly discontinued several desirable features included in the top trim level, across the US-spec GTI and TDI lineups for 2014 MY?
At least that's the conclusion I reach, based on closely studying all 10 available MK6 brochures for 2010-14. For the GTI, the 2011-13 Autobahn trim level is gone for 2014, of course. Compared to it, 2014 Driver's Edition is conspicuously missing:
- Dynaudio
- keyless access with push-button start
- 18" Serrons.
Did the 2014 US GTI brochure (all 3 pages of it, down from 11 the year before) get it wrong or are those deletions what really happened with the DE, options-wise?
For the TDI, the 2012-13 Technology Package disappears for 2014. The top 2014 trim level, Golf 2.0L TDI Clean Diesel with Sunroof and Navigation, is likewise missing:
- Dynaudio
- keyless access with push-button start
- Bi-Xenons with LED DRLs and AFS.
The deletion of that last option for 2014 TDI can't be correct, no? Again, is it merely an abbreviated (also 11 --> 3 pages) brochure issue (one would hope) or the new reality this year?
Thanks.
