Got a confirmed build date of week comm 16 Oct for my GTi order which was placed on 1 July. Still having colour dilemmas but will stick with my original choice of Indium Grey.
Who was that with? I ordered 1 Jul with a VW main dealer and my build week was last week and the vehicle is now in transit. No options. Standard white colour.

The white is an option. Standard colour is Black Rubin aka Purple.

Interesting. I was offered lowest price 'pure white' or 'tornado red' at £239 ex vat on a 1+23 at 8k p/a or the black as an option at an extra tenner. The VW guy said that the Rubin needed to be seen before selected as it wasn't to everyone's taste.

A broker I also spoke with said the Rubin was the default colour so maybe it depended on purchase route?

Ordered with a VW main dealer. Went for DSG which might slow down the order, also metallic paint and 19" wheels.

Got a red GTi, but after seeing one in tungsten silver, wish we'd gone that, it looked great.

I had a silver Mk 5 GTI which did look good but ultimately I felt it looked a little plain and ordinary because of the colour.

Hi lads.
Any good offers for the R or GTI at the moment?
If not, any other offers for something similar?

Hi there, lad. I am not sure, what deals have you found in your research so far?

Well nothing that comes close to the deals that have previously been mentioned earlier in the thread.
Golf R for not much change from £10,000 over two years is what I'm finding.
Have you any recommendations for reasonably priced leasing companies? Or is what I'm finding the norm?

There has been a mention of vw deals being released today while other sources say November. Seems also to be more likely on the R than GTi, maybe most likely the estate as well.

Any news on this? My lease vRS ends in April so I am starting to shop around.

No deals yet so maybe it's Nov.

Alternatively some nice deals on the Arteon R Line 190 petrols for similar to cheap GTI prices.

I used CVL this time last year and got a GTI for <200pcm, I expect there will be good deals soon.

What up front payment was that with and for how many miles per year?

Has anyone any idea the cost of fitting a tow bar? I think that may be a better solution to carrying my bikes than a roof rack.

Involves cutting the rear bumper which you really don’t want to do on a lease car.

Can’t you get a swan neck type detachable one that doesn’t involve cutting the bumper?

Failing that it’s the factory fit one at £600!

Vehicle finally moved to the 'In Transit' stage. Placed the order at the beginning of April.

Picked up my July 3 order today. 1+23 white, 5dr manual, 230bhp.

Am long term owner (mk4, mk5, mk6, mk7) so I can see the evolution. Not opened it up yet but can feel the potential. Other initial thought - as mentioned here previously - is that the Bridgestone tyres are fking noisy! Takes the edge off a bit.
