ID3 is too heavy and crossover-y to really drive well for my taste, but it probably wont matter to most.Ha ha - as the saying goes ‘many a true word spoken in jest’.
I'm sorry but I just don't like the comical (IMHO) looks of the ID.3 with that weird, semi-smiling front end. Also, that strange raised gloss plastic panel between the windscreen and bonnet (hood) also looks like an afterthought to me - almost as if whoever designed the bonnet made it too small, so the gap was hurriedly filled with a black plastic panel.
The Cupra Born version looks so much better IMHO;

I could’ve ordered one of them and probably would’ve had it by now.
Hmmm
, I’m not sure about that. Judging by some of the posts on the ID.3 forum in their ‘Delivery Time’ discussion thread, there are equally long wait times on ID.3’s. One forum member posted 2-3 days ago that they ordered their car in Oct 2021 but have been told by their dealer they won’t see it this year. So that suggests at least a 15 month lead time if that person is ‘lucky’ enough to get their car delivered in Jan 2023.
Again can confirm no issues with Infotainment.
Built mid January 2022 so new hardware (the new Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm and a faster graphics unit )

The horror...Hmmm

Oh so newer built cars get improved chips (if they can make them fast enough) ?

I was basing this on colleagues who ordered around the same time as me (shortly before/shortly after) who’ve all taken delivery of their ID3’s.Hmmm

If anything it just highlights what a mess VW’s ordering system is in right now.
Yes, we discussed it in this thread.

Is it only on the discover Pro only though?
Damn, it really looks like it (source: Volkswagen Golf receives infotainment upgrade for 2022 | Auto Express), haven't noticed it before ... It kinda seems worth it now.

But it says that cars without Pro will recieve the same processing power as todays more advanced setup.. so i guess non pro will be faster aswell?
I know it’s ridiculous
Congrats! I get a similar idea sometimes, but usually the A4s in the similar range are around 5 years old already and I cool off after listing all the tech I would miss
Hi guys, new to this site but I’m currently waiting on a Golf 8 R Line. My dealer informed me that I now have a confirmed build week of week 17 (w/b 25th April). When do you guys (hazarding a guess) expect delivery of the car? (All being well the build week doesn’t turn into WEEKS)
