I am edging towards cancelling as my gut tells me 2022 is unlikely for these cars.

- I might extend my current lease by 6 months and see what happens - I am due to change in June and could live with out a car for a month or so - but need some confirmation of a build date to plan - I started looking at buying something and thats no easier

I cancelled. Ordered June 2021 and the last update I had was expected build June 2022. It kept slipping week but week.

When I bought a car from stock recently I was chatting to a few of the sales team. They were advising 18 months for any performance golf if it was ordered Feb 2022

I never cancelled a Focus so I might just accept that. Its a 2022 facelift ST Vignale for £214 a month on a 1x35 lease. Bargain but boring and couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Manual as well :-(

Anyone looking to get out of their order let me know. Do you think they’d transfer the deal ? 🤣

Anyone had any further updates?

[Chainedtomato]

Anyone waiting for their GTI/ Clubsport will want to be aware of this: https://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=288...

The equipment/ options are being removed due to chip shortages, much like BMW are doing

[Hopefully getting a GTI clubsport]

I have messaged the dealer to see if I can find out more about this.

[Hopefully getting a GTI clubsport]

This is the reply I got

We received a bulletin yesterday that from today they will be removing some items / options from ordering on any new order from the 16th March 2022 to help ease the backlog and existing demand on chips however it did not mention anything on existing orders in place and or any changes to that plan.

I dont pretend to understand the impact of the chip shortage but looking at the list shown on that link I am surprised that folding wing mirrors, illuminated Grill is an issue and the computer dash is not???

LED Matrix Headlights

Illuminated Grill

Harmon Kardon Sound System

Side assist including folding door mirrors

My update today is October delivery. Thankfully I'm able to extend my Mégane RS informally which I don't mind at all

Thats great news - are you on the Arval deal? - have you got a build date - The dealer said to me today "he order has not still been confirmed at the factory, similar to a number of other models in the same status." so I am assuming that the November date he gave me before is still guess work

Yeah it's the Arval deal supplied by Inchcape, this was the first contact I've had from the dealer so might not mean anything concrete at this stage. Let's see...

Thats interesting - I am just about to sign up for a 6 month extension on my existing car and while they said June/July it slipped to August and then the last few weeks they have been saying November - my extension would take me to December

Hi all, yeas same here, Inchcape just told ne October/November, but warned me it may be longer. Bit disappointed but in the current climate can't be helped. So now do I extend my Cupra lease or buy an old stupid money pit to tide me over 6 month 😂

I dont think these GTI CS cars will land in 2022. Crazy to think these were ordered as a batch in summer 2021. I am going to cancel as I cannot keep my 8 series beyond end of Oct. Plus I think there is a facelift due pretty much by the time these cars land if I am not mistaken

Thing is there are not many other options - I would buy something on PCP but still no stock for things I want - accept thats not the point of leasing but this car wouldnt have been my first choice - but a good deal

Latest update for me :-
current build is still provisional as November as of today. We have seen some positive moves on build slots recently so I am hopeful more will become confirmed over the coming weeks.

Hi all, I have had some great news from Inchcape Cheltenham this morning. Car is in build, so we are looking at late May/June for delivery! Yay
