Yes we are Ryan. My wife can't legally drive a manual so it made hard sometimes that we couldn't swap cars.

The deal is though, we buy a GTI it had to be her main drive car during the week.

Just tracked on Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics - worldwide ocean transport, inland services, supply chain solutions, terminal services and got a record showing my car on the Boheme! making its way to Melbourne EA 11/11. Longer ETA then what the dealer promised but happy its on its way finally!!!!

Congrats mate - only 5 days after mine arrives... The wait is frustrating BUT the end is in sight

I often check the marine traffic website just to make sure the ships still moving

yes, getting very excited now!

do you know how long it takes to clear customs and then interstate? I'm leaving for holidays on the 25/11 and not sure if i'll get it just in time or not.

Mine took seven days after delivery into Melbourne and it had to be road freighted to Brisbane! I guess it will depend on the dealer and how many cars they have to prep.

Just picked up my white 103TSI Highline, with leather and driver assist. Traded in my 2009 manual 118TSI. Ordered early September, but they were able to grab one on the boat (destined for a NSW dealer), which they transferred over to WA via road.. It came off the boat on 15th Sep, and got here on 3rd October.

I hadn't even test driven one, so it was my first drive - I had to come back to work, so only had a 10 minute drive, but so far, so good!

Adaptive Cruise Control was interesting - very unnerving first time I let it brake for me when coming up to the lights.

I found the indicator clicking a bit louder than my mk6, but I suppose I'll get used to that.

Thanks for the info! think its time to put some pressure on the dealer and see if they can make it happen.

Just put a deposit down on a pure white GTI manual. For me the Mk7 comes with pretty much everything else I would have wanted so I'm pretty darn happy. Should be here before the end of October!
