build week

[James Gould]

I'm putting  -  trying to  -  the order out of my head  -  ordered a couple of weeks ago, told should be delivered March but I know it wont be before June  -  the only consolation is that I know it's a car which is around in big numbers, that I'll have a relatively rare (in the price range) car  -  part of the car thing is looking forward to getting it  -  very annoying, pipehose, but you might, in the future, regret cancelling  -  all the best....whatever you do...

Sorry to hear of yet another cancelled order sue to build weeks, however wherever you turn to now will be either someones spec or a similar delivery time as hanging on for your existing order.

You might want to list the dealer name and your original spec in case anyone fancies taking it on and possibly beating the lead time for a brand new order.

[James Gould]

good point but I assume that if anyone with the same spec order is on the dealer's list, that person will take pipe's place??

Don't blame you cancelling, fella. My head is telling me something similar.

TBH, 4 months plus wait is not bad for a good looking performance car with a decent badge/heritage.
Tried how long you need to wait for a 997 turbo or Skyline GTR.(Both 6 months plus)! Even the Focus RS or Cooper S Works got a long waiting list!

I waited 18 weeks for my GTI, I am glad that I didn't cancel my order and went for a A5 TDI/ 3 series coupe 325d. This car is well worth the wait! It might be a bit more expensive than a Mazda MPS or Megane but after commuting in it for the last 700miles, I find this car is a bit of a bargain! Like a 911, it wouldn't blow you away after a test drive, it's owning and using it everyday which makes you think its head and shoulder above its other competitors! It just cover every basis of a good performance hatch so well!

Only gripes--fuel economy is nowhere near as good as the official combined figure!
Rear leg room and boot space is no where near as good as a Focus!!

Try 7 months+ wait, not 4 months, for a golf.

Sad isn't it? 7 months for a mass produced hatch that VW churn out by the 100,000.

You can order a bespoke 911 and have it in considerably less time...
What the f**k are VW up to?
