Re: New Car - Harsh Suspension

Well to my shock (no pun intended) I've found the problem and thanks to @andrewparker who pointed this out - 3 transport blocks in each shock absorber. Cannot believe that this has got missed by the supplying dealer whom i'm waiting a response from as we speak. I've removed them as its very easy to...

They’ve not left the transport blocks in have they? Wouldn’t be the first time…

Re: Anyone else experienced this?

By options, are you talking about the dealer ordering a new car for you?

I got a right haul from Wrexham VW with the new up! GTI I picked up last week. Umbrella, keyring, pens, really nice presentation box. It's literally the only time I've ever had anything like that!

Re: Every ID. model will get its own GTX version in future

Why do we need it? My pp is plenty fast enough, the only reason you would need more performance is if you are racing on a track unless you are one of those total a**holes that think speed limits don’t apply to you. What we need is better value for mass adoption of EV s Why did you bother to go for ...

Re: Every ID. model will get its own GTX version in future

Let’s hope the ID.3 GTX is more compelling than the ID.4 version, which just looks to be stupidly expensive for not much reason.

We’re apparently now the only European market to have zero upfront purchase incentives.

It's determined by when your build week commences. I think 51 (2021) onwards and you get a MY22.5.

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

Been following the Born thread with interest. There a number of V2s in the country available now and I have been offered one on PCP for £30 less/month than I'm paying now because of the equity I have in my car. If I wait for the ID3 I have on order I may lose the grant as it will run beyond 12 mont...

It's strange because the arch gap certainly doesn't look 3cm less!

Re: Delivery time

I put down a deposit on a brand new Tour on Monday. Due at the dealers in a week or two. Was very surprised to see it advertised and went for it 😱 feel a bit guilty posting given how long folk on here have been waiting. I asked the dealer if it was a cancellation - they said no - that it was part o...

Re: Delivery time

Been over to Wrexham VW to pick up my new up! GTI today and the salesman was saying that last summer VW gave all the dealers a minimum number of ID3s that they had to sell. He said that even then, they knew they’d sell them easily, but that the factory would never be able to fulfil the orders.

Re: Direct Comparison to the Cupra Born

I’ve copied this from a post on PH. Thought the comparison from a current ID.3 owner was quite interesting. “We had an i3, now have an ID3 and have a Cupra on order, but the longer range 77kwh battery version that gives us the range we want / need, c340 WLTP The Cupra is a much much better steer th...
