Subject to work ill be there! (Not eating)

Ordered mine last week and been given a build week of 39.

Anyone wanna buy a full size 16 spare lol!

I'm now in the same boat!

In ordered mine with the pictoris. Think the others look a tad odd. Personal preference I suppose!

Ordered mine today - race blue, manual diesel, black pack, canton, cruise and red stitching on the seats. Thinking off modding and adding the winter pack - dealer said I have a week to modify my order. Looking around end of Oct?

How pants is that not to have them as an option to start with???

I'd prob bob over as our lass's parents live up the road so its an excuse to get out if I'm not working!

When I went to Keith's at Huddersfield it was early eve/tea time and had gone home with one of the salesmen. Currently on Holiday at the mo but wanna get down there to have a gander when back.

Sold I now believe! Keep us updated Ibiza Andy

Considering SUK seem to get a bit of a berating for the way they mess things up - why doesn't it change? Surely the standard marque that comes from CZ should be standard here too? Otherwise it just shows how they are ripping off potential owners?

That's why I chose the DSG over manual. Did like the VRS I test drove and listened to what you and ChrisRS said at the Malthouse meet all that time ago! It's just long term not ignited inside for me. Still prefer manuals. Had a drive of my old Fabia the other week and it just made me miss it! Perhaps I'm just an oddball! Haha! Liking the discussion though!

Oh it's not staying! Love the car but like the new octy better. Diesel VRS with a manual box and if I like it keep it after the 3 years!

Excellent reply! Cheers! Makes for very interesting reading. Ill have a play with the box, do have a dabble with the paddles every now and again and do find the box responsive and like it but for normal driving I just find it mundane. There is a remedy for it! Manual next time and wait until I am in my 40's for an auto lol! After speaking to the head of the dealership who also drives one he stated that the dual clutch was a bit of an overkill on any engine less that 300bhp? I claim ignorance as my technical experience of gearboxes are standard torque converter types and manual boxes fitted to old buses so couldn't quite get to grips with the principle of DSG at first. Obviously the dealer statements came after purchase

Cheers Jobsworth! Looks fecking awesome!
