Bit the bullet.. ordered today!

Ps

Did anyone else mull over 3 or 5 door for a while ?  I don't currently really need 5 doors and I think the 3 is a tad more sporty looking... But am a bit worried the 5 door will be more practical long term..

5 door is far better for practicality but 3 door just looks that bit nicer IMO. If you carry lots if passengers then 5 door would be the one to go for but if not then def 3 door

Everything you said is right.  You gotta pick what you like most.  I went for 5 because I think the 3 is only a tiny bit better looking whereas the 5 is a lot more practical.  Everyone will be different in this respect though...

H5O - how long after order did you get a build week confirmed ?

Cheers

Hi Andy, I got it the very next day. However, you must remember its an estimated build week NOT confirmed. That will come further down the line. It could move forward or back.

Hope that helps

Andy,

I changed my order from three (the best looking) to a five door (most practical) as we have a new baby on the way soon. Imagine what a pain it would be to lift the baby in and out of a three door car. The missus just wasn't happy so I changed my order. Plus, I've enjoyed a "true" three door coupe for the last four years and loved it. So, now its time for a change.

It all depends what you need from a car. Just think how practical a five door GTI is day-to-day. Hard to beat

The dealer said to me how about going to pick up the car from Germany.. Might just do that !

It is possible for UK customers, but VW can't be arsed unless you're buying a Phaeton. German, Dutch, Austrian, Polish and Czech customers can do this for pretty much any Wolfsburg produced VW.

This is my dilemma, the 3 door is fine for me just now but would hate to have to get rid in the future just because I needed 5 doors.  That said I don't have any baby on the way yet so guess that's at least a year of 3 door pleasure !

I was planning to keep this car a while though so it does make me ponder if 5 doors is more sensible lo term..

Argh wasn't expecting my first spec dilemma so soon after ordering

Andy,

It's all down to personal circumstance. The three door is the best looking, no doubt about it, but the five door is still very handsome & practical too. It wasn't until I test drove the five door last week that I changed my mind. Well, that and missus and the impending baby

I don't think a single dealer has ordered a 3 door demo car so its impossible to compare in the metal.

The thing is if you hardly ever carry passengers then the three door is the one to go for, and its cheaper too

Various dealers have 3 door demo cars - seen quite a few pics on this forum. :-)
