The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

Given your location as Melbourne, the missing heated front seats without the leather option might be noticed

I've had heated seats in my last 3 cars and I never use them. Personal preference I guess, but not my cup of tea.

I love the heated seats, use them almost every day!

I'm not old but the heated seats help my back problems so they get used whenever I'm in the car.

I really appreciated mine on a winter visit to Canberra.

For those that have placed factory orders so far. What lead times have you been quoted? I was told by my dealer 5-6 months worst case. Interested to hear what others have been told.

I ordered at beginning of Feb and was told approx 4 months. Early next week I will be taking delivery, so the estimate was quite accurate.

I ordered my Golf back on the 1st March and was told its due mid-late June, this was confirmed via email the other day.
When ordering my TDI Highline with R-line pack the sales guy had a calendar with all the build times verses delivery times for that build, so far we are on track for this information. The only thing holding it up would be customs.

One of my wife's work mates ordered a Passat and when it was at the docks some grain was dropped on a bunch of cars and this held up the delivery because it needed to be decontaminated and what ever else they had to do..... Just hope this does not happen to mine! I want it sooo bad.

5 months 2 days from ordering to delivery for me.

I was promised 2-3 weeks and waited almost 3 months.. but that was a minor miscalculation as to when my car was built and freighted. Fortunately the mistake was picked up early and all was well, particularly as I was in no rush. Scored a GTI beanie and plate extension fee as 'compensation' so all good.

From what I can see most dealers are a lot more familiar with order times and the VW system and/or are aware that so many of their buyers are forum visitors and are informed compared to when the Mk6 came out, when a lot of BS floated around.

I ordered mine Tuesday and am told 4 weeks at the most. I selected off a list that was arriving or already in customs I think? Factory order was looking like Sept.

I do know that with scarcity of some colours and option combos that dealers are not willing to pass cars around. I ended up with white over Night Blue for this reason and I'm having leather retro-fitted rather than wait on a factory order (so no heated seats ).
