Well, the Dealer in Spartanburg, SC just received a CFB GTI SE. I'll have to stop by to see one in the flesh.

I just bought a CFB GTI SE Saturday - dealer could have sold 100 if he had them. There were 3 people lined up to take mine if I didn't. Color is certainly different in sunlight vs dusk. It's quite the attention getter. But LOVE the GTI.

Wow -- that looks really nice! Super cool. You made the finest choice to be made in Tucson.

wow so that's even better than the rabbit - being an SE AND the cornflower blue! Damn....
It’s better if you prefer leather over plaid and a sunroof.

although the 17 Sport was optioned perfectly for me I will repeat damn that CF Blue FTW!!!
being able to say Rabbit would be cool too.
plaid/lights/stereo/LSD (in no particular order) were my wanted options
Joe,
I am jelli of the color

I'll second @Strange Mud. My 2017 Sport is nearly the perfect combination of features for me (I didn't really need KESSY and would have preferred to have fogs, but otherwise spot-on). Still, I would have loved some real color options. I definitely would've jumped at Great Falls Green or Cornflower Blue.

Sport was so close, my lazy ass skipped it for auto lights and wipers. Of course I got stuck with a sunroof, but my 17 SE actually didn't squeak nearly as much as my 18 SE does. But the 18 has plaid, so I fixed that problem. It would be great if they'd just offer cloth and pleather on any trim. I ignore the Autobahn and R because of the forced leather.

Don't know if it's true but I read that the new SE was leather only.
18 SE you had option of plaid or leather. 19/20/21 SE is leather only.

Yeah, I think 16 and 18 were the only years it was a choice, possibly 15 too, but lots of weird things happened with 15 cars.

Right that's why I said the new SE.

D,
cornering light over fogs (IMHO). I know they are only useful at walking speeds but seeing around corners at a dark intersection/turn in is good. I've never driven a car that fogs did much besides look cool or help with only your 1st 10 feet.

Oh, absolutely. And I've never had a car with front lighting as good as the lighting package on the GTI, between the bixenon, swiveling headlights and cornering lamps.
The fog lights are purely an aesthetic preference for me (I'd code them at low intensity as DRLs). US regulations that force the low beams to be on with fog lights renders the fog lights pointless in, y'know, fog (though that could probably also be fixed with coding).
