GTI Ordered. Who else has made the jump?

Cheers Jimble   I go in on Tuesday to sort out the finance details etc. as their guy wasn't in today, so the order will go through then.  Will let you know what happens, and I'll be keeping an eye on how the standard configuration pans out prior to build!

Do let us know on that 'Colour display for multifunction computer' as it's annoying. Going to place my order tomorrow and still wondering whether I need to tick the box or not? I know it's only £135 quid but I'd rather have it in my pocket or two tanks worth of the black stuff

I certainly will.  At the moment it would appear that standard is a low-quality monochrome matrix display, and the TFT screen is higher resolution but greyscale.  To make it colour would appear to be an option according to the current price list.

For such a trivial item I'm not going to worry about it too much.  I've ticked it, so will get it regardless.  I don't need to pay for it until I collect the car, at which point I'll be checking what's standard and what's not.  If it's standard by the time I collect my car, I'll just insist on getting £135 back on top of my trade-in and see what they say!

What build week have you early orderers been told?
Mine is currently wk22 (first week of June), so hopefully early/mid July delivery.

Of course, that may change.

Can't wait. Those Xenons look soooo good.

Of course, that may change but the VW order tracker is showing 22 at the moment.

When did you place your order ?,I placed mine about 1 week ago but VW order tracker just shows processing at the moment,on the invoice it says delivery estimated as the end of june

Thanks Simon

It was the screenshot from the dealer's ordering system that said wk22 not the VW Order tracker.
That is the same as yours 'processing'.

My mistake, I've edited my post.
Has your dealer given you a build week yet?

I ordered last week.

Looks like a fantastic car.

He did mention a build week but I can not remember what he said he is going to ring me when he knows more ,they are going to change the spec on one of the GTI`s they already had on order the same as when I ordered my MK6.The MK6 came in early it took about 8-10 weeks so hopefully the MK7 will be the same.

I think ours will be on the same boat.

First ones in the UK.

Sad but true.
