Ordered my new VW Golf!

[MK6-Fan]

Well......that's me put my deposit down on my new Golf at the end of May!!

It's a 1.4 VW Golf 'Match' TSI 3dr in solid black & the dealer said initially I should be getting it in around 12-13 weeks as it's a factory order - it'll be worth the wait though.

The dealer said the car was on build week 27 & he said that in customer language that means it was built in the first week of July.

This is taking much less time than I thought it would - chuffed to bits!

Yesterday the Dealer called & said my car has left the factory & is currently on the boat over to the UK!

Considering its build week (27) only commenced on Monday this week, that is pretty rapid from building the car to actually dispatching it - well chuffed!!

Still looks like end of this month for delivery/collection. So, that's been 5 weeks from order to shipping - very quick turnaround!

Welcome to the forum.

I don't think you will be disappointed the TSI 1.4 Match is a little cracker, just the right amount of kit.

I picked mine up at the end of May and find myself going the long way home because its a car that makes you smile and you want to drive it!

I've racked up 800 mile now since new and it returns around 45 to the gallon, plenty of go buts sips the juice.

My old faithful.......... Said goodbye to an old friend

P.S word of advice ......don't use the boot keyfob..............You can lock your keys in the boot as I found out....... locked keys in boot.Doh!!

Enjoy your new car

Hi,

You will love the car

I ordered mine 20 May 2011, It was built on 4 July and Delivered on 21 July. Sounds like very similar timings to yours.

Enjoy

[Mattplym]

Just had my brand new golf turn up. it took 12 weeks from order to finish and i had a few options added too so pleased with that. dealer quoted 20 weeks. changed it from a mk5 2.0sdi. Just a little different! (not that the SDI was bad)

You must be enjoying the power of the turbo over the SDI!
