Pleased to say I collected it today. So far very good, although doesn’t sound as good as my Rocco R did. Getting used to all the new gadgets (the infotainment is pretty easy once you get the back of it).
One big annoyance - given the cost and high spec, they didn’t supply me with car mats!!!  :sad:

Carpet mats are standard on all mk8 Golfs apart from the entry level ‘Life’ model. They’re normally in a plastic bag in the boot when the car leaves the factory and the dealer should fit them in the foot wells as part of PDI and prep prior to customer collection. Suggest you contact your dealer tomorrow and ask for them.

Put my complaint in today. Currently sat at BW 47 and i've had enough. Order was placed on 01/02 and was told id have the car by late May/Early June. Order has been constantly going backwards.

Customer service at VW are currently getting in touch with my dealer to see what good will gestures can be offered.

I wouldn't mind it but my dealer is impossible to contact, hardly ever responds to emails and always 'with a customer' when i call.  :angry: :angry: :angry:

The underlying issue affecting build delays is likely to be the worldwide semiconductor supply shortages - see reply #92 in the discussion thread at the link below;

https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=287670.90

RHD Golf GTI’s with DSG and Harmen Kardon are particularly affected and @JRG4’s car ticks 3 out of 4 of those boxes - RHD, Golf GTI (Clubsport), and DSG.

Id missed that post, thanks.

Im the same, CS, DSG, RHD, but DCC & Winter.

Are we saying, and a separate thread on VWROC is saying that this is more likely impacting CS's than R's? They also use the DSG, surely its the same chips. I was tempted by an R to start with when i ordered a CS, might have to consider that option again.

Another thing about the MY22 builds - does anyone know about the noise regs for 2022 cars? It’s affecting the super car world a lot. Just wondering if the MY22 Clubsports will sound any different than the pre 22 cars. Bit like with GPF for 2018 scandal

My GTI sound a lot better now after 1900 kilometers and the clubsport near my house even sounds better.
Give it time.
You can also change your sound settings to sport under individual driving profile and if possible use 98 Ron petrol. my car sound better and use less fuel ⛽️ With 98 Ron

I assumed it just needs a bit of bedding in. Only clocked 100 miles so far and that was the journey back from dealership. I used 98 as default, as I have done with the Rocco. Although the CS pops whereas the R didn’t ;)
