Cancelled my order. Not due to the lead time but due to the attitude of Arnold Clark and VW. I’ve been a VW owner my whole life and the way I’ve been treated since i ordered this car has been abysmal. Put me off VW for life.

I don't think dealers will care about anyone canceling orders as they know once that car arrives they can sell it on for a profit instantly. They should however care that returning customers will stop returning.

Yes, thats the problem...short of buying something used... which of course is expensive because everyone else is doing the same..

This was so much of the reason I cancelled mine too.  My dealer was sympathetic and understanding but they couldn't do anything about it and couldn't get any information out of VW.  My experience has also put me off ordering another VW in the future.

Hmm tough question. My shortlist and budget is a bit all over the place, I have another daily so it doesn’t really need to do that but I do like cars that are good at multiple things.

M2 Competition Auto
M140i 3 door Auto
M335d or M335i Estate
718 Cayman S or old 981 GTS (3.4L) PDK
2011 997 Carrera S RWD/PDK
2013 C63 Estate Performance Pack
Alpine A110
New A45S
New RS3
I30 N Auto

Yeah completely agree but i don’t think there will be any going back for me. To be honest I was never really that sold on the interior / infotainment on the MK8 and VW aren’t really making anything else I’m interested in, especially the ID range (apart from the Buzz)

That's quite a list JRR!

Some real humdingers there and I guess ultimately it'll come down to what suits you and what you want to pay.

It's a shame that the last few years of ICE are being blighted by supply problems which are preventing some from enjoying the roads.
