The '20 weeks from order accepted from factory' (23 weeks since order) arrives this Thursday,
There has been a lot of confusion and the usual BS from VW but it looks like I should be ok.
My question is out to those who have received a car from Europcar in the same situation:
What car did you get and do you feel it is as good or better than the GTI??

:grin: Is this a joke thread?! I've got a GTI PP on order - and they gave me a 1.2 TSI Bluemotion Golf S with 85bhp - so no, its not better than a GTI and it certainly isn't a "like for like" courtesy car!! :laugh:
-
They'd have to give you something real special to be better than the GTI?

A 2.0L car would have been close....not a 1.2! Cheers VW :rolleyes:

If its only for a few weeks I dunno why they can't get people in one of the many demos they have. They can't really use them as demos since they have an order backlog anyway. I suppose they hope to flog them off though.

The original plan was that I would get a courtesy car via Europcar but the dealer changed their mind and gave me a car from their own fleet "to ensure I got a car of suitable spec". I presume that means the car I would have got via VW UK from Europcar would be pretty basic.
I got a 13 plate Golf GT TDI 150 Bluemotion by the way - OK its not a GTI but its really not all that bad.... for a diesel :evil:
-
My dealer Corkhill say the don't have any they can use.
It seems most dealerships have sold their demos'.
I was in the same situation when I bought my Scirocco and they gave me a 1.4 Golf but with a bit of nagging I got a C Class.
Time will tell....

I had 1.2 Polo from the dealer for two months when I was waiting for my Mark 6 (this was six months into my wait). It was very, very basic - didn't even have air conditioning.
I specifically said that I didn't want a Golf, as I didn't want to spoil things for when I finally took delivery.
Don't get your hopes up - "suitable spec" could mean anything. VW Liverpool once gave me a canary yellow Fox as a courtesy car. And another Fox with an out-of-date tax disc.

So my dealership about two weeks ago let me have a powder blue beetle pics on another thread if you want to laugh. Whilst I haven't been driving 'economically' it's managing less mpg then my old audi a3 sline. It did on a 20 diesel 100 miles or approx 33 mpg. That's crap for a car with 5000 miles on the clock and the official figures say should manage somewhere up to 65mpg. I know I wouldn't manage that but half come on.

Got a Mk7 2.0TDI150 DSG - great bit of kit.

ADC is hilariously good to use. Just program it and relax. I kid you not, you could almost fall asleep on the motorway, its that good.
