With this model the price is too steep, and there are too many otpions! With the spec I want I'm looking at spending over £25k and for a bit more money I can buy an S3. I just don't get it and it's annoying! IMO the car should cost £23k inc DSG, Xenon's and a decent soundpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] could be leather seats are nice when there new, but the sides and bolsters can deteriorate quickly. even tiping the seat forward creases the leather bolsters, and then the seats look old. thats where fabric seats win hands down, they wear realy well. which bright spark thinks its a good idea to put the leather bolsters on a fabric seat? whats the point?

Timski Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I quite fancy one of these but I think I'd have to see one 'in the metal' before I decide to get shot of my 25th Anni. Stealer told me on Saturday they're not available to order yet. If they're anything like the 25th Anni they'll be snapped up in no time. Am I right in thinking VW are making only 1500?

TonyD Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 My dealer told me exactly the same: not available to order yet.... will fly out.... and only 1500 examples.... He says he's getting a demo in December though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Have they placed the order with the factory though Oli. They might just be filling out order forms and taking deposits and them leaving them in an out tray. IMO They won't fly out of dealerships... they'd say that about a 1.4 Passat if they thought they'd get your £££'s. They'll be plenty of Anni's to go round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] cloth side bolsters are worse for ware especially the fabric VW are using at the moment on big bolstered seats.. Its been talked about on here a few times, My local dealer said and i told him to not BS me and he knows better than too, said factory orders are been taken now.

Tarmac_Terrorist Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 My father in law has just ordered an Edition 30 this afternoon. At 67 years old he decided to replace his aging Fiat Coupe Turbo with something of similar performance. The dealer has already taken 4 orders for the Anni 30. Delivery is anticipated for February - no surprises there. Spec is as follows: 3 door Lux Pack 1 (folding mirrors & surround lighting) Armrest Xenons Ordered in the <font color="red">fastest colour</font> too I was surprised that Xenons weren't part of the Anni package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsclzcd Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Hi, this is my first post on this site, just joined today as I have been reading this thread for a while, and thought my comments might be helpful to anyone looking to order. I ordered an edition 30 on Thurs 2nd Nov. Have been given a week 50 build date with delivery in first/second week of January. Dealer said they were only allocated that one car (he also said other dealers would only have between 1 and 3), dealer very good, let me test drive a standard GTI as I had never driven one. Was v.impressed, although couldn't really put it through its paces on test drive! (Currently have MK4 R32, not really that mad on the new one so thought Id try a GTI, hope i've done the right thing!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 A Warm Welcome to Tyresmoke! Although the GTI doesn't have that glorious sounding V6 and also the interior quality of the Mk4 is better in many opinions, the GTI is very sporty, agile, and great fun to drive. I doubt if you'll be disappointed but it always come s down to individual feel for how you like your car to drive. Naturally, we shall all look forward to your reports etc about your Anni when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
