I phoned again and was just told I was on the priority list with the dealer and they would be in touch at some point to arrange delivery. Pretty much what was said a couple of weeks ago so doesn’t really fill me with confidence! I Asked for the registration and they said they would give me that when they’ve allocated me car.

Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Wonder if there are further restrictions with it being in Wales rather than England?
I'd imagine they are pretty limited in what they can do unless the dealer has communicated delivery slots and its confirmed.
Once it was Zen (I was dealing with Hannah) were great in finalising.
Ill change my tune if it doesnt arrive tomorrow as planned though

That was my fear that restrictions may apply with dealership being in North Wales. However it does appear that they are delivering. To be fair I’m sure most Dealerships have backlogs to get through and prioritising customers on initial order dates I guess. I ordered on the 21st November.
Well its here - quite pleased with the Silver having not seen one in the flesh.
Will take it for a run out later and see how it goes

Flat bed - 9 miles on the clock.
Just nipped out for lunch in it so now done 22
Immediate thoughts
- Very impressed with the ride especially considering the profile on the tyres.
- Seating position isn't amazing need to be able to drop it another couple of inches
- Wing mirrors appear to have a really narrow FOV
- Stock paddles are fine - dont need extensions
- Not sure why it wants to pretend to be a Subaru in Cupra mode
- Zero steering feel but positive enough front end and bags of grip
- Engine is strong but has minimal character
Sounds pessimistic but absolutely nothing i wasn't expecting - at the end of the day its a cooking family hatch/estate with a moderately fruity engine. For what were paying I'm confident it will be an excellent addition for schralping round with bikes and shopping in the boot
Its a mass produced fairly under-stressed low rpm lump without a specified running in service - not a race engine.
I'm just driving my as i see fit (obviously once its warm).

Mine was supposed to be delivered the day of lockdown so was cancelled.
Vindis ( through Zen) have just phoned and booked delivery for 3 June...

I just did what the manual said to do. There's a specific section about running it in. Most ignore it but if the manufacturer felt the need to put in the manual then I'm guessing it's there for a reason.
Not sure if this is why I never suffered coolant or oil loss issues like some other owners.
Does it change gear at a higher rev when run in ? When in sport mode it’ll change at 3500rpm. It’s got 300 miles on it.
Is your oil up to temp when this happens? I don't think the car knows it's not run in and you can rag it from mile 1 if the engine is warmed up. I may be wrong as I never tried to give it some beans in the first 600miles or so.
There's no rear camera. I think it's just the DSG that goes to sport when you pull the stick down, I don't think it changes the suspension, diff, steering settings etc.
Not sure. The only options available were the sun roof on the hatch, panoramic roof on the ST or the driver assistance pack. Very limited on options.
Car close to being replaced and having to comply with WLTP testing for every spec combination likely meant them needing to seriously cut down the options list. Especially when RHD tested cars sell in two countries only, whereas the rest of Europe is LHD.
