cheers guys.
I do hope you all get yours soon enough also.

can't wait to go for a nice long drive tomorrow to put her through her paces.
Coming off WRX's this surely is going to be different

Yes. They said that all they have to do is the paperwork and expecting delivery early next week.
Was originally hoping for before Easter so that I have 4 days of driving.
S'pose it's a good welcoming present for the end of the hols

Congrats JohnA, looking forward to seeing some pics and hearing your thoughts on the GTI after driving WRXs. Have fun!

me too.

but information from the dealer is not forthcoming...
I've tracked teh order through the WW site, it was discharged on teh 24th, delivered on the 29th (in NSW). and it needs to find its way to Melb, and then to me...

surely they should be able to firm up a delivery date if even I can trace that info!!! it just needs a wash and BT installed! shouldnt take that long!

(patience just like a kid in a candy store, as I'm driving my 38 yr old spider in the meantime til this one arrives.... and 38 years of development has made huge changes in driving dynamics!)

It takes approximately 3 weeks from the ship arriving to the car being ready to be picked up.

You're almost there!

Hope they do more than that

But seriously, PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection) has many steps to ensure that when you take possession there is almost zero issues and you drive away a satisfied customer. Not forgetting a full tank of fuel.
