Moved to Stage 3 today.

Step 3 of 7: Your order has been confirmed for production week commencing [Build Date Un-Available]

Tracker says to contact dealer so waiting on a response to my email.

Isn't it normally 4 weeks from here until it gets built? I'm guessing 6 weeks until I get the car?

I have pushed the button on a LG GTD. Currently running a nearly 3 year old 218ps 125D Beemer (a very usable car!).

I do Fancy a change, and an upgrade in tech.

Options are:

5 Door
DSG
Dis PRO
Advanced Tele
18's,
climate screen
Dynamic chassis control
Dynaudio,
panoramic sunroof,
heated multi function steering wheel (dealer assures me it is available!) I am not sure - we will see!
keyless entry,
rear view camera,
leather,
winter pack
Lane assist with dynamic light assist

Went a touch overboard with the options....... Managed to get a Pretty healthy discount. Need the Diesel due to miles! Circa 500 a week.

One question ...... Ordering to receiving an order number? How long?

Previous cars

2 TTRS
Cayman
Rocco R
Ed 30 golf
Clio 172 full on track car ( cage, on throttles etc)

Got a fair bit of track car experience, in a prominent UK Series. Also VW Retro fit experience, fitted an OEM RVC to my Rocco R when it was 1 week old!

Ps heated steering wheel is off, and pro sat nav and Dynaudio have been combined into tech pack and saved £1000!

Got a confirmed build week from the dealer. He says week 20, which he says is built from 8th June? Not sure how the build weeks work as he has confirmed that I am getting the newer version (showing 125PS Match) and has been able to add the Car-Net App Connect.

Roll on June!

Whao! Update. I have a build week... Week 31. It will be a 2016.

Anyone have any info on 2016 specs or changes? I have asked the VW rep 3 times no reply.

I got a call the other day to tell me that my car will likely not arrive until around September now :( however it will be a 2016 car apparently which I was told comes with keyless entry, winter pack and the standard nav as standard spec. pretty cool although I have ticked the tech pack I am looking forward to having keyless entry.

I am in England yes and I believe they said 2016 although I'm not 100%. They told me that keyless entry, standard nav and the winter pack will be standard on it which is cool :)

Yeah, VWoA finally got the 2016 info to us. We get CarPlay and that is it. I was hoping to get the rear view camera as well, but it shall not be. Don't get me wrong CarPlay is going to be pretty cool. I am anxious to play with it a bit.
