  1. Thanks for the replies everyone, I'm really pleased with it. Crassus- it's a factory order, I wanted a pano roof for my son to enjoy. Mick 50, I hope your car comes soon, great choice by the way.
  2. Well it's finally here, that's not strictly true as I drove away from Autosales in Burntwood last Friday. The weather has been so wet it's only been dry enough recently to take some pictures. My first impressions are really positive ones. The DSG is really smooth with great functionality and flexibility, and the navigation has some nice touches too. The engine seems to be quite powerful but as I'm still 'running it in' I haven't bounced the rev counter needle into the red yet! Although I have noticed a buzzing sound from the engine/transmission, I would describe it as a mechanical sound more electrical, Mechatronics maybe? Just a new sound in a new car to get used to. Fit and finish seems to be good with everything to be well screwed together and the paint is glorious too. I now looking for every opportunity to go out and drive it now. I've great expectations that this going to be one of my favourite cars that I have owned.
  3. Wowzer that expensive, was it coal powered?! Mind you my car before my current one (Yaris) was a Scooby Impreza and that was eye watering to run too.
  4. Ha ha, I hope it brings back some good memories for you. I have an added incentive to get mine asap as I want it to be registered before April when the price of the road tax goes up by £120!
  5. Love it! The 'FAB' plate is a nice touch too, I'm getting impatient now.
  6. That's great to hear, I'll put some photos up on here when I get it and the weather is better.
  7. Unfortunately it takes a change of light conditions or time of day to notice some scratches. Whilst I'll be on my look out for anything, in reality I'm going to notice something as I get to know my car. As I thought you have the same model, engine, 'box and colour that I've ordered, just the wheels are different. Mine are Camelots hopefully.
  8. Thanks for the reply RickW, sound advice. By the way your car spec is very similar to mine, maybe the wheels are different , it's hard to tell from your photo.
  9. Thanks for the reply Malcster. My contract is with the dealer, the broker essentially put my vehicle spec out to 'tender' and the dealer I'll be collecting from won the bid. So the broker is only the facilitator in the deal. I'll be taking a copy of the spec I wanted when I will go to pick it up, only problem is that I went a bit mad on the options so it may take a while!
  10. I've found out today from my car broker that my car has been built and is awaiting shipping to the UK. Hopefully it should be delivered to the dealer in early March. I've yet to make contact with the dealer but when I do what should I ask them? I opted for an extended warranty and the two year service plan and I have read on this forum that there can be difficulties in getting confirmation of this. Any pointers/top tips on these or anything else to do with taking delivery would be a great help.
