Having just bought the car, had checks done and to be told I needed a new steering….on 4-6 weeks leadtime, I threw my teddy. They said not to worry as I could still drive the car.
The more I think about it, the more I think why did I get another 2021 car!! I’ll report back as collecting tomorrow and have 2 hour drive home to shake down the faults.
EDIT:
So I collected the car today. I am flabbergasted as to how different it feels to the Std GTI traded in. The ride and handling is very very different. To me it was like trading in my Mk7 R for a 7.5R....the same car but so so different.
The infotainment is of a higher version and after 2.5 hours driving home the system behaved itself. The only bong was a cornering light needs to be sorted....cleared any faults with OBDeleven...there were only 8.....eachtime I did it on the old car it was circa. 20....even straight after it had been to the dealers.
The Akrapovic pops and bangs kept me amused in the traffic.
This is what the GTI should be. Sorry if I sound gushy but I had issues with the Std GTI......
I only bought it in September 2021 from Anthony Motors, a VW dealer in Aberystwyth. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. They are an independent VW dealer, not a chain and they sold me a 16-month-old car, which I subsequently found had had 6, yes 6 previous owners before me and had replica Adelaide alloys rather the OEM-VW wheels. They did nothing to fix the problem for me other than get their solicitor to send me a very weak but threatening letter saying I would lose any legal action with them.
Anyways, I LOVE my (nearly) new CS45.
Here is the new:
