Your car has been built and has now left the factory

Getting nearer......new GTI is now at Grimsby 

Better start getting used to the much poorer fuel consumption. Now the warmer weather is here, my GTD has started once more getting some great MPG figures, and last night in my usual 16 miles commute home (busy motorway at approx 65 mph plus 5 miles of 50 mph "A" roads, then a tiny bit of town traffic), it got me 62.4 mpg (with an ambient temperature of 23°C). Can't see the GTI getting anywhere near that, but to be honest, I'd be happy if under the same conditions, the GTI got 40 ish (and delighted at 45 plus), Not sure if that is realistic in a GTI ?

If you drive that same route at a steady pace then you’d be getting 40+ minimum. I’ve managed 50 in my GTI before driving like a granny on a long run.

Me too, 50mpg on a sloooooow motorway 18 miler. 42 more like it though and 45 sometimes.

I got 38mpg this morning on a 6 mile commute with air temp at 15°c. Managed to hit green at every traffic light though

Yay - received this update today - unlikely to be able to collect until March sometime due to VT on my current car - anyone know how I can track which boat (I am just interested!) it will be on and the ongoing length of time it takes to deliver it to dealer
