yikes That's probably double what I leased a Mk7.5 GTI for.

More than £200 a month more than the Arval deal which also includes maintenance, I guess that’s why we are putting up with the continued disappointment of having these on order for 14 months without a confirmed build date!!

Exactly, I've been close to cancelling a couple of times but then check prices and realise I'd be mad to.

Now there are a few more periods where the roads are dry I have been driving the car harder and starting to enjoy a bit more of what it's about. Definitely steers sweeter than an R and feels very nimble but VW should put the R paddles on the GTI CS in my view. The tiny ones they fit are just a bit grim.

I have just received the OEM R paddles and volkswizzard has a video on YT on how to fit. For some bits of plastic dealers want £260 but I found them here for half the price

Plan on fitting them at the weekend. Might be of interest to someone.

The standard ones are probably an upgrade from my Tiguan so I will be pleased with them (or they might actually be the same) - thanks for the link though

I’ve cancelled my order due to lack of clarity on delivery and worrying feedback on the infotainment system and distracting safety systems.

330e MSport touring on order instead.

Not had any issues really on either myself - lane assist is always off. But, I would take that Beemer over the GTI CS anyday

Great news! Was yours one of the Cheltenham orders? If so, hopefully mine will be confirmed soon too.

Has anyone looked into the cost of adding a private plate with Arval?
