VW dealer in Exeter told me they will not get their demo until the same time I get my car in mid September.  I have Build Week 34.  I have also ordered Dynaudio and the thing about whether it fits in to the spare wheel is of great interest to me.  Of my previous 4 cars I have had 3 punctures and 2 blow outs.  I have always stated I would rather have a Spare Wheel or Space Saver rather than a can of Tyre Weld.   

It does indeed seem to look like the Dynaudio may fit in to the 18" wheel.  Lets hope VW confirm it is the case.  I for one will not be happy with the wheel being replaced by the Sub Woofer, as I was told it would fit in to the wheel.

Playing with the German configurator, you can have Dynaudio with an 18" spare wheel, but as soon as you try and change to a 16" spare (alloy or steel), it tells you that the combination isn't possible.

This smells like winter pack and cloth seats all over again.

Actually that makes a lot of sense.  The sub won't fit in the smaller wheel, but it goes in the 18" one fine.

Methinks the German configurator is better than the UK one...  :angry:

A cost cutting measure (in the name of weight reduction) that many other manufacturers ahve already adopted, or god-awful run-flat tyres. I'm surprised VW have shied away from Pirelli P7 self sealing tyres that were standard fit on my Scirocco.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Do you mean they will be getting a demo with Dynaudio in Sept or just a demo? As I've posted up pics of their demo (non Dynaudio) which was on the road at the beginning of June, if not before.

Sorry to sound a little vague.  But are you saying VW in Exeter already have a Golf GTI Mk7 Demo?  They told me they would not get a Demo car until September the same date as mine.  I asked them more than once to let me know if they do get a demo so I can come in and have a look etc,. They were certain they would not get a demo until at least September. 

I think I will have to give them a call, if they have one already. 

To clarify they were not getting one with Dynaudio, just a standard demo car nothing more.
