Thought that I would say a quick Hello in the Mk5 section, Hurdys Idea.
I have a few weeks to wait until my GTI arrives and it is absolute torture.
I have had a mk3 Gti and VR6 in the past along with 2 Scirroco's.
I have always bought VW group cars as you cant beat them.
I staryed over to the Seat side for a few years bought a Leon Cupra then a Cupra R.
The time for a change came along and I didnt fancy the new Leon so I opted for the Mk5 Golf instead.
-
Welcome :smiley:
You made the right choice bro. The golf is a better looking and the best looking hatch in the world.
Plus, there are far too many boy racers in Leons around my end and they always get tortured :wink:
-
The new Leons are just nasty inside, the golf takes some beating for quality and refinement even if its not the quickest of the hot hatches out there.
-
I would say the Mk5 GTI is up there in term of one of quickest, or am I mistaken?

Its certainly the fastest car i've drove :wink:
And it gets some attention/respect which is flattering :tongue:

there isnt much that can keep up, ok the others have maybe 20 more horsepower, but if you opt for DSG version, that more then makes up!

Welcome to the dark world of the Mk5 forum :wink: :smiley:

Hello again John,
We can all sympathise with the "waiting pains" for a new motor. :wink:

Yep, me too.
Mine is supposed to be here sometime next week but it was only built last week so I've not got my hopes up. Ordered 23rd Feb.

Same here - I think I ordered it at the end of Feb - and when I spoke to the stealer yesterday they said it was build week 20. So if its not being built till next week, I'm not likely to see it for about another 6 weeks :cry:
I was originally quoted 8-12 weeks, but looks like it'll be nearer 14-16.
The dealer said it was now taking them over 10 weeks to get a standard golf.
AAARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Ordered Jan, at the dealers ready, just 2 weeks till I pick up. :grin: :grin: The wait has been sooooooo painful. :sick: :sick: :sick:
-
Well in that case I'm going to have to give you all something to drool over for a while and with a bit of luck it might put some off ordering Silver :wink:

You git :wink:, you certainly know how to make me feel a whole lot better. :sad:

Cheers Guys,
Mine was ordered late Feb, been told that it will hopefully be the first week in July.
This will be first brand spanker, so the wait is painfull to say the least.
On test driving one it seemed about the same performance wise as my Leon but its the quality and ride that impressed.
Cant wait to get a nice double din DVD fitted also.

Do you know your build date yet? Seems odd how yours was ordered the same sort of time as mine, yet I was told it would be another 6 weeks tops (mid June - and originally told 1st week in June)
-
Havent seen any build dates, was told that it will pdi on the 26th of June and should be ready about a week after this.
I have gone for an import as it saved me over 4 grand.
Searching around here seems as if Motorprovider is a popular choice.

Hi John :smiley:
Don't post on here much myself but been kicking around a while...
If it makes you feel better, i waited 16 weeks and 5 days for my GT
(admittedly I was hell to live with in that time!)
Seemed every time I went to the stealers, the time got longer!!!
Still I've had him six months now, strange how quickly that time goes in comparison!!
-
Cheers Lynsey
It dosent help matters as I work opposite my local stealers, everyday I look out the window and am greeted with a 15 foot VW sign, plus new shiny golfs sitting there,
Its a painfull reminder :cry:
-
I called the dealer today to try and get a delivery date as I was getting a little worried by some of the comments above. He said it's showing as "On Ship" and I will probably be getting W/C 14 May. (ordered 23 Feb)
I asked why some of you have been quoted longer times by your dealers and he said that it's based on the particular dealerships allocation.

John,
When did you order?, I';ve got the same date from Motorprovider and ordered early Feb 22 weeks! assuming it arrives on time
I was quoted 12-14 seemed too good to be true ...it was
-
reading the above, you have got me worried.
Only ordered mine 3 weeks ago, been told end of july for delivery. Treating it like an early birthday present to myself, even though it's a company car.

The wait is a killer, I ordered my ED30 in late Jan, got it just under two weeks ago. Took about 10 weeks in total, bought through a broker (Carfile.net). Very good service and car was delivered to my door on a transporter.
At least the wait will be worth it in the end :grin:
-
Got a call today from the Dealer. It's in on Monday 14th May (woo hoo)
Chose from a list of registrations, even though they were all pretty dull. Can expect delivery mid to end of next week.
(Ordered 23rd Feb so that's 12 weeks)
-
Kick a man when he's down :cry:
Was yours an import or main stealer?
-
Main dealer.
Don't worry i'm feeling the pain too. Even more so now I have a date to aim for. I've already planned a few days off towards the end of next week to "play"
It's my birthday on Thursday too so it's pretty good timing.
-
Well have a great Birthday and I am sure the car is a well deserved present to yourself.
