I’ve been in a good few dealer demos that look like they’re about ten years old not just a few months. Pretty depressing. I think sometimes they go out as staff cars and get treated like trash.
Did you find that particular car drove any differently to the previous one Damian?

I’ve seen the mph/km’s reported elsewhere but never noticed it on mine and mine is a very early build still on original software. Mind you the little icon is so small I almost need to climb into the back seat to read it…

The brakes work well, I can confirm that.
Feel wise, I’m used to them so they feel ‘familiar’ but maybe they are a bit firm in use.

Did you find this last example you drove to have muted throttle response too?
I’m wondering if maybe the boost profiles are different to your R as there have been quite a few iterations of EA888.

Hi which dealer did you use ? Just wondering if it makes a difference to lead times

I used Sinclair VW in South Wales. I have heard that which dealer you go to makes a difference as different ones have different 'clout' with VW for orders.

HMRC released their 'how many left' data today for Q4. At the end of Q3 there were 663 registered clubsports, at the end of Q4 there were 682, meaning they only delivered 19 cars in the last quarter! No wonder no one got any!

CS 45's went up from 20 to 40  :laugh:

Its mad this whole debacle, my dad placed an order on a T-Roc in Feb and is due to be delivered in June/ July, we placed an order for a new Kodiaq for the wife 3 weeks ago and got a build week at the end of August its mad how the different Volkswagen family factories are so wildly different at the moment. The dealer did tell me that the Enyaq would be at least two years and there are 300,000 or so outstanding electric car builds across Audi, VW, Skoda and Seat!!!!

Seen a brand new one in my local dealer showroom today in kings red with Adelaide’s and it was very nice. They must be making some of them

That’s a beautiful looking combo.

I’d be incredibly hacked off if I had a car on order for 12-18 months and unallocated showroom cars started appearing
