My brother’s GTI is finally being picked up on Tuesday. I’ll get some photos up.

I went into my local VW today and was able to have a good nosey at 2 Clubsports and numerous GTIs. All looked good.
Current: Clubsport45, white, DCC.

Past: Mk5 gti blue graphite, mk6 gti carbon grey, mk6 gti edition 35 candy white, Mk7 pp gti tornado red, 2016 Audi S3 sportback, 2019 7.5 Golf R.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone got a Clubsport on order in which you ordered Jan/Feb?

I ordered late January and have just been given an unconfirmed build week 44 (November) :angry: - I was told by the dealer that it would be June delivery.

I know these are subject to change but build week 44 is a bit drastic and is swaying me more towards cancelling.

That's terrible, as I am thinking of placing an order but no way wanting to wait that long.

What's your spec? Is it something they cannot get hold of.

I placed my order 15th December 2020, Heard nothing, still "with the factory"
Dealer last month couldnt tell me when I would get the car so cancelled!

It was mid November! Crackers eh?

I went to Vw Blackburn. They had 2 Clubsports, 5 Gti’s and a couple of GTDs. Interesting also had a Tiguan R and Touareg R.

I was looking in Jan/Feb.  I was being quoted times of between June & August from dealers and being told that a mix of Covid and the semi-conductor shortage being the main culprits, so November is not entirely unrealistic.  Circumstances dictated that I was unable to wait that long, so I decided to go for a base-spec ClubSport and I have zero regrets.  The only thing I feel as though I am missing, with hindsight, is the HK sound.  I was going to spec DCC but, having now driven the Clubsport, aside from the 'cool-factor' of having the Nurburgring Mode, I really don't feel as though it would've been worthwhile as I feel the ride is good for me as it is.
