About to order GTi Clubsport

[drisser]

On my second day with the car and having ordered one without actually seeing it in the flesh or sitting in it ever before, I can honestly say that the cabin feeling is beyond any expectations... The alcantara bits, the steering wheel *oh-my-god-that-wheel* the buckets and all the bespoke details of the interior just set it apart from any other competitor in that price range and much higher I dare say. The only place I'd imagine that gives an equivalent sense of premium sportiness (no cheapo aftermarket interior mods) is probably a GT3. But the Clubsport has just the perfect blend of a sports special AND a lux cruiser at the same time it's amazing.

I was after a car that would make me drive the nuts of it the moment I saw it and right now I don't think it can get much better than this...

Have you posted any pics yet of your car ?  I have asked my local dealer to let me know when their customer car first arrives so I can have a butchers.  I think the CS is one of those cars that is hard to judge until you see it in the flesh...

Anyone managed to squeeze any kind of discount yet on a CS ?

Yep 7% back on launch day, played hard though.

My dealer has had one in, first one I believe, not mine sadly, mines still in the delayed issue.

I was 5th to bag one on launch day though.

I managed 3.9% back in April when I put my order in. I still don't have any confirmed build date yet 

So you ordered in April and still no Build date?

Has anyone in the UK had a build date? Sorry if I've missed it as not sure if some peeps are abroad

I've had an email from the dealer to say the build week is now provisionally week 42 (mid October) and this is called status 10. It needs to go to status 20 which is a confirmed build slot and this hasn't happened yet. It looks like the production problems at VW are now impacting on build times. So from ordering the car in April for an early Oct delivery it could possibly be late November or even in the new year! I know I've signed a contract but surely VW can't have an open ended delivery time?

Cheers for the pics, looks great.  Those seats look fantastic.

Saw your comments about the interior, genuinely does it have a special feel to it that lifts it above the Gti / R ?

My dealer emailed me last night and have their first car coming in October.  He said it isn't sold so they might run it as a demo so might well get a chance to drive one before thinking if it is worth ordering.  Price point still puts me off a bit but it depends how "special" it feels at the end of the day..
