The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[jjj]

Hi watercoolers,

Have had my R for three weeks now - its a great bit of gear. Silver paint, 18" silver wheels, dsg, dcc, dsg, nav, mdi, leather, Bluetooth, 5 door. Only 800 km so far so I'm still babying it. Engine note is great. DSG is brilliant and definitely better than in mkv's I've driven. I don't think the amount of lag is much to talk about, and there is plenty of power for me. DCC is definitely worth it, noticeably changes the dynamics of the car.

It seems well screwed together and is the ultimate Q car.

The only thing I would change is make 6th gear a bit taller for freeway cruising, and that is being picky.

Having said all that, there is no way I'm ever going to wait this long for a car again - I'm too impatient and VW need to sort these ridiculously long waits in IMHO.

Cheers

When do the VIN numbers become available? Only after the car is built? Or can the dealer get it after the order has been processed?

Could be 3 months from when you place the order, the more informed can correct but I belive it is when the car is going into production

Silverfoxx is basically correct in what he's saying, timeframes can vary depending on when your car is booked in for production but you won't get you Vin # until the car has been built.

Believe dealer gets advised of the VIN on the 3rd day of production/build process - give or take a day.

It looks great man. You just have to remove the rego sticker from the windscreen and put it on the left rear passenger window, as close to the B Pillar and bottom as possible. Looks much less obtrusive/noticable there!
