Agreed @SRGTD. My SEAT buying experience was so good I bought 4 cars from the same dealer even though they were 150 miles away! I can’t say the salesperson was that interested in making the sale either as they had met their sales targets but in the end the deal compensated and they are local but I w...

And in my frustration I forgot to ask what ship it’s on. Any ideas? MrTomOates is it on the same as yours

Well I called Customer Services who could see there was an update after all but felt my dealer should be doing the feedback and asked my dealer to call me. Unsurprisingly they didn’t so I contacted dealer again to tell them there is an update so tell me what it was. I had a short email to say they h...

Yes it is strange and intensely frustrating now. I tried VW last week and was brushed off back to dealer but I shall try again. I shall let you know if I get anywhere

You’re so lucky I spoke to dealer who told me car still at status 30 after 4 weeks which means it’s still sitting in SA waiting to be allocated a ship. Looks like even a September delivery may be missed and waiting into the 9 month

Happy new car day. Stage 30 means it’s on the way to Emden so won’t be too long

Agree about Black. I’ve fallen for it twice. When clean it can look fantastic on the right car but it’s always dirty and shows every scratch and chip. After the first time I was in denial and went for it again only to realise I was right the first time

Another big tick from me on ALA. I’ve used them for years and a fantastic company to deal with. If you change your car before the end of the insurance period they automatically give you a rebate on the unused period. No quibbles and great value dealing direct as SRGTD says. Never buy these extras fr...

My favourite colour by far is white silver and if it had been on the Gti+ I would have ordered it but I went for white with black roof pack and agree with Tom it’s the best colour combo for showing off the body creases but as always colour is a very personal thing.

In real terms no options are worth it as they offer so little value come trade in time if on PCP. Nicer wheels and climate etc make the car more attractive to sell to private buyers as they make the car look nicer and stand out from the other standard cars but won’t add financial value and as you’re...

Any reason why they made you do the part ex at a different time to picking up the new one? I’ve always done the handover on the same day.

Well what a surprise. A stock reply that didn’t in any way answer the question I asked. Hopeless as expected. Definitely not like 2016🙄 Dear Ima Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding issues with your vehicle being covered under warranty. In order for us to be able to comment upon the causes of...

Wow that’s quick. Only 4 weeks from South Africa to UK!! You luck fella. Watching you all pick up is driving me nuts now knowing mine can’t be too far away

Well I’m sensible then with you😄 I spend 98% of time in stop start traffic and with a dodgy knee and I don’t go track driving so I’m happy to forgo the manual ‘enjoyment’ for the 2% of driving where a manual would be worth having. Saying that as I’ve never had a car with launch control I’ll have to ...

You’re right it has been a long time so I’ve emailed customer services for an up to date definitive on the launch control question for the Polo Gti rather than Golf. Better safe than sorry and interesting to see if I get the same support as the Golf R person did 4 years ago 😄 I have said I wish to s...
