You're entitled to a courtesy car 20 weeks after the factory accepts your order.  I have been told I am eligible from 23/09 but I don't think I'll bother.  My confirmed build date is 29/09 so I  hoping just another 5 weeks to go tops...

You should bother,
It costs VW a fair bit of cash to get you a hire car, this could have an impact on how they treat your order.

Whose order are they going to progress, yours that is costing them (VW) nothing or mine that is costing £200 (guess) per week in hire fees.

I agree.  Take the car, means they are more likely to push your order through as its costing them money.

I picked up my courtesy car this morning, a Golf Plus, and I was surprised to learn that VW only pay 50% of the courtesy car cost, the dealer has to suffer the rest. I don't see why my dealer should suffer, they have been excellent, the mess/delay/frustration/anger is entirely down to VW!!

If I was a private buyer I would be all over it.  My new GTD is a company car.  My current car is a company car.  For me there is too much hassle involved in swapping cars over for such a short period of time.  If I had the space I could just take the car and leave it in a garage.
