Not bad considering they've used the DSG Polo which is 100Nm down on the Golf.

Mine is built this week. Delivery around end of April.
Long time really from the order, second week of January.
Anyone would think I'm waiting for a Maserati not some mass produced Polo.
I think they do need to reduce some of the many combos that can be optioned, and are apparently planning it, it makes lead times quite ridiculous.

We are on week 16 2015. Is the build date the weeks it's started or completed?
I got an arrival date of around May 15th. Ordered Feb 20th so around 3 months.

I also think it's a stupid long time to wait for a Polo. But In Portugal I was always told about 3 to 4 months delivery on any sporty supermini. Only Renault and Mini had like 1-2 months delivery and it's weird 'cause pretty much all Minis are special orders.

I got a 6 month delivery date on the Kia Cee'd GT, got out the dealership LOL'ing all the way back to my car. Never talked to them again.

I agree delivery times are pretty mad for what is a 'relatively' normal car.

If you look at the length of time people are waiting on Fiesta ST, some are getting cars in about 6 weeks for full factory orders.

I can only assume VW underestimated demand for the new Polo GTI.

That's not good. I had an estimated one within about two weeks of ordering, and then confirmed after about 6 weeks.

Have you spoken to your dealer? Alternatively, you can tweet @VWUKHelp your order number and they can update you.
