Took delivery today :-) as I said before I was lucky that I ordered a car that had already been built. The wait is a major issue and was told today that they are losing sales as a result. They are bringing in quite. A few hatches but more enquirers are coming in for the wagon which has taken them by surprise. Told them the truth that like for like if you have to wait 3 months on a fabia or get a polo in 2 weeks you know where to go. I honk the wagon is a better bet for them as they offer something different

Sweet. The white ones look great with the black glass roof Same goes for Rapid Spaceback.
I was reading the 2015 accessory brochure and it lists "spare wheel set" (6V0 093 860). Not sure if that is meant to be the wheel or the jack or both? So what is in the spare wheel well???

May be a replacement part? I definitely have a spare and jack kit in the boot.

Our large spares have still always been on a non-standard rim and a different tire from the car. What is the tyre size of the spare?
In the USA, looks like they don't need spares any more. Saw a breakdown on holidays - recent model Ford midsize with huge slash in sidewall from hitting an obstacle. No spare in boot at all - just a pump and some gunk. Had to wait hours for roadside service to organise a tow.

I'll check when I get back home in a couple of days - pretty sure its not another alloy - but not quite space saver.
Unfortunately tyre repair kits and/or run flats are the trend now. Dad's X1 uses run flats and my mates Clio RS just comes with a kit. He's got an extra rim though at home. I can understand it in the small city-car class of cars which rarely see you out of town but mid-size and up really should have a proper spare - or at least a space saver.

jxenos - looks fantastic! I can't wait for mine!
I've spoken to the dealer. The car should be built this month. I should know the delivery date before Christmas.
But all on track for a late Jan/early Feb delivery.

Thanks meri84 - pretty happy so far
Dealer seemed pretty frustrated about the stock they're getting from head office. They though my hatches would be more popular but the wait is pushing people away. At least with the wagons they offer something different.

When I called them the other day to ask for an update on my car, they said that they have been told to stop taking orders for the wagons.
Not sure how true that is. Unfortunately the lovely salesman who sold the car to me is no longer working for them :( he was a lovely funny guy, and not pushy at all (I can't stand pushy sales people!)
