I'm now 10 weeks from order and not a clue about when my car will be here. Dealer the last time I was in 2-3 weeks ago had no information at all, and I feel like I'm putting folk out when I dare ask the question. Sales guy I'm dealing with is a genuine guy (sold the wife her golf at the start of the year), but I surely would have had some indication by now about proposed build week or even order acceptance. Sales manager said "they sometimes just turn up"

So I'm heading in to see them tomorrow to see what the score is with one eye on cancelling and just getting myself a near new preowned one if there is no information two and a half months after ordering. Plenty of GTD's on autotrader at the moment, even if they are in deepest England.

Am I being unreasonable? I don't want to be hanging on with no info until it turns up, sometime in the future.

Seems very poor customer service if you ask me. Mine was ordered at the end of April and i have a build week of week 25 so should be ready early to Mid July. I will prob wait though to get the new reg in Sept. I have regular updates from the dealer.

Dealers says no info on system apart from order form. They called VW who say all info removed due to build spec update changeover. It should be back on system after the weekend.

Still sitting the same way two weeks on. Going into see them tomorrow and looks like I'll be getting my deposit back from them.

Quite right mate, that's some nonsense you've had to go through.

Order cancelled this morning and bought a silver one this afternoon for collection on Saturday. A 60 plate, nothing special but a good runaround as that's all I need. I can change wheels, headunit at my leisure now.

Just pleased to finally have a car.

Maybe this is the way forward to cancel orders and VW just might get there act together not

You might be right, although I think they will just treat customers the way they are as they have a product that is desirable and folks will accept it. Almost like being a BMW customer.

Getting excited now. Up early on Saturday 5am to drive down to Huddersfield with a big grin on my face. Just need to convince the wife that her Vancouvers would look better on mine and the 17's would be better and more comfy on hers......no chance I'd get away with that

Joe....was it yours?

[JoeGTI]

Yes, it's mine 
Collecting it this afternoon.... can't wait!!!

[JoeGTI]

Well, I collected it a couple of hours ago and I'm thrilled with it to say the least   

It might be the "new car smell", but it feels so much smoother and more refined and comfortable than my MKV GTI. Road noise is much less, generally feel a lot more "cocooned". The interior quality is leagues ahead. I love the bluetooth integration with my iPhone, works brilliantly. And the  folding mirrors are a very cool/useful feature.

I love the colour, it really looks the business and I'm delighted I stumped up for the xenons. The lights and the LED DRL's have drawn a lot of admiration already! Looking forward to when it gets dark to see them in action then!!

One question... are they still supposed to come with the bottle opener in the drinks holder? If so, mine's gone walkabout! Although I did keep the one from my GTI 

For those of you still waiting... it really is worth it.

Congratulations on the birth of your new car. You must be a very proud daddy. As all new dads will tell you, your be in for a few sleepless nights waiting for the thrill of a drive the following day. 

Give her a bath tomorrow, be gentle and post some pictures.
