I ordered my Mk8 Style 1.5 DSG at the end of November 21, they told me to allow 6 months, but thought it would probably arrive a bit earlier. I'm not in a rush, thank goodness.

I ordered one 20th December 2021 for GOLF R line, optional extras. Mine is due 30th June 2022. I’m willing to build it myself and drive it from Germany if I could! . Hopefully it comes earliet. I’m so impatient!Hi all. I placed my order for a Golf 8 R Line with some upgrades on 24th Dec 21. I have been advised July 22 would be the very earliest delivery but likely to be longer. Hoping not but will see. Think I’m just going to forget the car for now and hope it comes sooner
I feel your impatience as I’m sure we all do . Will be the longest I have ever waited for a car. Just hope that these micro chip shortages and whatever else is causing delays, starts to improve soon. I have my 2019 Polo GTI until then and I love my current car but the Golf MK 8 interior really impressed me. Plus I just want more space and comfort and the Golf definitely provides that.I ordered one 20th December 2021 for GOLF R line, optional extras. Mine is due 30th June 2022.

Haha yeah you will def love the Golf 8. My Polo GTI has been a brilliant car and having the power is fun. But being realistic theres not many times you get to really use it. When I test drove the 1.5 Golf (150ps) I was really surprised how punchy the car felt. With everything else you gain with the new golf id say it will more than compensate the (what feels like) small reduction in power. Plus I’m gonna get more miles in the Golf so will save a bit at the pump tooHonestly I agree. I currently have a 69 plate Vw polo R line. I’m gutted to be selling it but as you said it’d about space and comfort. Especially when I drive around 60 miles a day and I want a smooth car that can go to higher speeds without flooring it. I love my polo so much and done a solid 18k miles on it. but so excited for the golf! Trust me driving a 1 litre engine on motorways regularly ain’t it. Oh the stress I’ve caused to that engine .
Update: had a call from my dealer yesterday to say that my Golf Style ordered mid Nov 21 is scheduled to be built on week 16 of 2022 and should arrive in the UK 4 weeks later!
