Anyone ordered yet?

Keen to know if anyone has seen one, what they think and if they would opt for something else?

Thanks

I've been unable to find a dealer able to offer a test drive so far.
And I'm not buying or leasing one without a drive first...

Just drive an R hatch. All the reviews say they're no different.

Personally I need to see it in the flesh because pictures do and don't make it any better...

Ordered early May through Freedom. How do I get an update on the delivery date, via the lease company?

Was in Germany last week and saw my first R Estate, looked fantastic, always preferred the estate body and very happy with my choice.

Ask Freedom for your order number. You can then enter it into the tracker on the VW website - https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/track-my-order

Too late for me - I just bought a 535i touring instead.

A 535i Touring is going to be one rare car! Wonder how many BMW have sold...

Not many! One of the reasons i was looking at the Golf Estate was because i had more or less given up on finding a 535i touring after only seeing 2 for sale in 8 months of looking.
Still think the R estate is a bargain for what's on offer.

Thank you. I have a build week (27th July). Does anyone have any experience on delivery schedules, roughly how long can I expect to wait for my car following the build at the end of July?

4 weeks after the end of your build week is normal. I'd predict first week in September for your car.

Has anyone got theirs yet? I managed to get one that had just arrived at VW to be a demo car but hadn't been registered yet as had only arrived in the country the day before.

Picked it up last week. Very happy with it so far.
