Picked up my new MK7 GTI on Friday that was optioned with driver assist......went to give the park assist a go and had to read the manual to check which button to press.....the button wasn't there and neither was the rest of the whole driver assist options.....took it straight back to the dealer and told him to find me the one I ordered....Was told the one I got was the last one in Australia a few weeks ago so I might be waiting a while...they have given me a 2nd hand Tiguan to drive in the meantime

Wtf! That is a big stuff up! How long do you have to wait now?

[emufriedchicken]

not sure...was picked it up 5pm Friday arvo and took it back 8.30 am sat morn next day....VW aus don't work Saturdays so hopefully they will find out tomorrow what my options are.....!

Hope it's sorted quick and you don't have to wait 4 to 6 months! What other options did you get? I'll be making sure my GTI has all options before driving away.

I ordered a Reflex silver, DSG with Driver assist....might have to wait the 4-6 months if what they are saying that the one I was supposed to get was the last in Oz....or I will see if we can do a deal....if there is one out there with say the bi-xenons as well( which I am not really fussed about) I will take it if they are willing to throw them in for nothing for stuffing up my order...or leather too ( which I don't really want either )..probably fat chance of it happening but I will be putting my case forward to see if they will come to the party on it

Evening all

New member here but I've been lurking around for a few weeks now.

I picked up my new Mk7 Golf GTI yesterday. Its a DSG with no other options, and I was lucky enough to get corp plus pricing on it.

Driveaway pricing was $44.3k, including tinting, rubber floor mats, boot liner, front weathershields, and a full tank of fuel.

I am incredibly happy with the quality of build, fit and finish. Might just be the 'new car feeling', but very, very happy so far. Lets hope it all stays that good for years to come!

Happy to field any questions on the car, or manual, or whatever.

Cheers all

You are not wrong! Could be 6-8 months!!! That would really stink, shows you how useless dealers are...(Not to mention they don't give two hoots apart from their sales commission). They will likely play the "oh, we didn't know you wanted that" card.

[emufriedchicken]

The dealer is being quite supportive about it all...they even showed me a copy of the order invoice just to prove that it did have driver assist on the invoice. VW Australia told them that there was one left with my exact specs at another dealer. So my dealer did a swap with them. So we aren't sure yet till tomorrow on who made the stuff up.....VW Oz or the other dealer they swapped with....to be continued......

Geez, sorry to hear of your misfortune! How long did you wait for the car initially? Fingers crossed they compensate you accordingly, it is clearly a dealer mistake but you shouldn't have to be inconvenienced by it.
