Thanks everyone for your help. I went for the Max in the end and just waiting for the order confirmation from VW.

I've got the Max on lease, mainly by default as I needed a car within three weeks. Otherwise would have had the Family. But now, find the HUD invaluable due to my eyesight. I wear spectacles to drive and focussing on HUD is spot on rather than the dashboard, much less eye strain. Not too fussed by the other options but they are very nice to have, especially the massage function.

Nice, I'm excited to try out the HUD when it arrives!

I hope the Max and Tour do have memory seats given they've been advertising the darn thing in their brochures! This is the slightly frustrating thing about VW - although I've not ordered a new car before so can't say whether it's the same for all car companies. Seeing discrepancies between what they advertise in their brochures versus what's on their configurator, and then what the dealer says, and then doing unexplainable things like removing the interior style plus as an option on the Family.

It wouldn't be the first time VW advertise something in their brochures that is just plain wrong, though normally they opt for misleading

So this would be an improvement then lol

Can I ask what timescales you were quoted as to delivery?

So mine isn’t a factory order but the leasing company said it has an expected delivery date of late November. I’m waiting for more information from them including an order number and build week etc., so will know for certain once I have those.

It's fairly common for lease cars through the fleet arm to jump the queue - different allocation rules.

Interesting, any particular reason for that? They did say it's being built as of this moment but didn't have more details to hand.

Also, I reached out to VW Support via live chat to get confirmation on whether the ID3 will get memory seats or not. Here's what they said:

This is a feature on the MAX and Tour model as standard. All other trims can be ordered from the factory at a price of 1,920.00.

When I asked why this feature is not on existing MAX and Tour models they said:

these details are in our latest price and specification guide. They may have been added within the model year changes as the Business version is now the Tour.

Not sure how helpful that really is but I tried :shrug:
