Nice work. Gotta say I do prefer the 230's wheels to my 245. I'd imagine they make the ride slightly more compliant too.

Naaahhh 245 rims look miles better, more meaner !!

Is the thread still working or is it just quiet on here ?

Rides a bit like a 'Scout' variant though!

Mine now built... 209 days after ordering

My mate waited less time to get his 488 GTB.

Mine also built now and at port of exit, awaiting phone call to say the ship has sank or been hijacked by pirates

Mine was on the ship in a uk port last week. Hopefully I’ll get it next week. Watch it be a Friday car!

Hopefully be worth the wait guys...love mine !
Great to drive and achieving 44mpg on some short mway runs which is nice.

Super stuff, more people very close to delivery. Still very chuffed with mine close to three weeks in.

44 mpg sounds good. Haven’t got 40 mpg yet, 39.7 mpg was my record. All short 10 mile journeys to work in 30 mph and 50 mph restricted roads (apart from little bit of bendy unrestricted road that isn’t helping the mpg at all).

They took my superb mobex car back today .... brand new passat in its place

Also includes the front diff, just wondering what wheels it will have?

[Steve vRS]

And seats?

Well the standard 230 has the diamond quilted seats anyway. I hope it has the 18” wheels then it’ll be perfect.

Apart from the ugly facelift nose, obvs.

Each to their own, I love the new headlights!

[Beefmeister]

I much prefer mine, but can certainly see myself getting a new 245 next year terrible nose or not

2019 vrs will be DSG only according to this article...

That seems to be due to some strange Aussie rules. I can’t believe the manual or diesel options will go in the uk. But stand to be proved wrong!

6 weeks in and only 145 miles covered, i have been busy though, fantastic car so far. lol

[dayc666]

Our 245's won't really stand out when that one hits the market then. Shame !!! Presume they'll be another to follow the vRS then that has more ooomph. They need a vRS 300 to keep up with Ford/VW/Seat/Audi etc
