VW Touareg Lease Deal

I've posted on here a couple of times summarising our BE 286.
The gear box is frustrating. I've found is best either in ECO mode for smoother lower speed driving or manual mode.
After 2 years its still a great car. Better in many ways than the RR Sport or X5. The engine, space and refinment continues to impress me.
But the gearbox programming, safely systems and controls just make it frustrating and difficult to gel with.

I know nothing about mapping cars but could a mapping company tweak the gearbox to cure the hesitancy issue, which is widely reported. Putting me off buying one really, although I haven't had a test drive yet.

Great news you should have it in a couple of weeks!
……Arrived today ! First impressions very good indeed, impressive performance and standard spec, getting to know the infotainment system etc - fairly intuitive once played with, Google earth looks great, like the fully adjustable seats, pan roof great, wheels shod on Pirelli’s rather than Bridgestones…air suspension good, doors seem huge but will get used to them , dog proofing ordered for rear…..just a matter of learning it’s size albeit it’s a smaller foot print to the 840, but fair to say I’m pleasantly surprised so far :-)

What a cracking pic! Was looking forward to your views as I have ran one for the wife alongside the 8 series and at the weekend it's Touareg everytime hence getting a second. ……Arrived today !

My monthly payment is bang on, however, my first payment baring in mind this is a 9 +35 seems to be around 6.5 months upfront all including vat - I’ve not mentioned it before as I was waiting for the confirmation letter from VW which arrived today, looks like a cock up but in my favour as I can’t think of another explanation for it

Unless they bundled the road tax increase all into your first payment? My monthly is u by just over £4. My car is arriving at the dealer tomorrow so hopefully delivery can be sorted before the end of next week.

To explain my upfront payment I was expecting as per quote was 9 x monthly payment - but appears to be around 6.5 monthly payment- can’t understand the variation but it’s a cheapened a fair amount the deal so happy :-)
Oh its gone down thought it had gone up. Top stuff! Ours arrives at the dealer today and our GTI Clubsport is on the boat. All change on the driveway. How are you bedding in with the Toerag?

All positive so far…. Looking forward to taking it on a trip next week to stretch its legs etc, and work out which driving mode suits the car best.
Have you got a home delivery date yet for your aqua marine BE ?
Yes it arrives a week today - the Golf GTI CS should land at the dealer end of next week. Have you got a home delivery date yet for your aqua marine BE ?
