Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Engine cover on my 2020 car is just plain black plastic - no badging on it (the engine cover on my 2016 Polo GTI had the VW emblem on it). As for Lane Assist trying to steer you towards the tractor you were overtaking; I’ve read that if you use your indicators to show you’re intending to overtake s...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Just chatted with my dealer again, as far as he can see it's supposedly still waiting to get on a ship in SA after being at the port for over a month. I'm just really hoping that VW status hasn't updated properly and it's actually nearly here :roll: Fingers crossed its already on the way and somewh...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Just had my weekly call from my dealer telling me that my car still hasn't left the port in SA. It's already built, and arrived at the exit port about 4 weeks ago. Apparently has a number of T-Rocs and Polos in similar situations, with no word from VW on when they can be counted on to arrive.

Re: New polo rline. Heater matrix cover cracked from factory. Poor service by vw and vw assist

You should name and shame. I had an awful time with Lookers Preston when my bluegt had issues from new a few years back. Took 18 visits in 12 months to get the car sorted and then I’d lost interest in it. Also had numerous issues with their servicing department, bunch of clowns. Can’t say the same ...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

There’s a couple of new gtis at Bolton VW. A red demonstrator and a black showroom model. Looks very nice, climate controls are the same as my Tiguan so they’re backlit unlike the golf. Actually like the new tartan and don’t mind the red stripe on the front now I’ve seen it in person. What I don’t ...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Some youtubers lifted the bonnet and apparently the car doesn't have a plastic engine cover. Is that normal? My company's VW Caddy van doesn't have one either (it's from 2016 and has around 50k miles) and the engine looks a bit... worn? No complaints about reliability though. But some parts look a ...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Many thanks for very detailed and informative reply👍 I mean, there's not all that much to say. If you've used capacitive buttons before you'll have a good idea how they feel. The climate controls are responsive, but it's much harder to tell what you're doing than with a physical dial (as is the sam...

Re: Any one ordered the new facelift GTI?

Anyone tried the buttons on the steering wheel and climate control? Any issues? I've not got mine yet (due delivery in about 4 weeks), but I've test driven. They're not great. Climate control isn't *terrible*, but it and the steering wheel buttons are undoubtedly a big step down from proper physica...

I placed an order at the end of March, just got an updated delivery date of mid-late July What does your specification look like? I opted for: - Keyless entry / start - beats audio - Sport Select suspension - Climate control - Kings red dash insert (the car is in Pure white) Put a downpayment and o...
