The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread
Not true. I waited over 7 months for mine, and several other members have waited considerably longer than 4 months for a GTI in the past. It's possible that GTI order timeframes are improving now however - perhaps some potential GTI buyers are going for the R instead.
Less than 4 months for me. (well 2 days less)
Ordered 27th of Nov, pick up on this friday (25th of March)
Im guessing those earlier deliveries may be due to the specs you order already matching or very close to a car already being built. I was told 5-6 months wait for my GTI, its fairly specific as you can see by my sig, hopefully it dont take any longer then 6 months as my TDI looks like it will sell very soon

Nice specs on your GTi MiiLos, I haven't seen many other people apart from myself actually ordering 3DR manual Golfs. Seems everyone's hung up on getting DSG!
Golf R ordered, here before I go old and grey:Expected delivery in August. Maybe.

Congrats man! How long have you been waiting?

Ordered 28th October - so 5 months on the dot from Order to Delivery.
I'm getting the 5 door Manual, most of the people who ordered the DSG from what I have been reading mostly drive it in manual mode anyway, so I couldn't see the purpose of getting the Auto myself =) - Currently driving around an old Holden wagon auto and I hate it... I can't wait for when the truck turns up and unloads my car at the front of my door.. Then I have to figure out how to put these Euro plates on as looking at pictures with the normal QLD plates makes the car look odd...
On Order : Rising Blue Golf R - 5 Door ; Manual ; ACC ; 19" Talladega Wheels (silver). ETA 28th March 2011

thanx mate yea i think the majority is DSG. my current TDI is a DSG and its great, but ive always had a soft spot for the manual, when i test drove the manual GTI i just couldnt say no, that and the nice discount over the DSG

I was the same. I know it may be a little stupid considering I've bought a performance car with the gearbox that actually offers less performance, but I'm just a sucker for a manual!

Hmm even though the manual is less, it isn't that much less... Well nothing that I would even care about..
Now Driving : Rising Blue Golf R - 5 Door ; Manual ; ACC ; 19" Talladega Wheels (silver) ; PPQ Euro Plates.
My thoughts exactly. In the real world, you're not going to notice .3 of a second to 100kph. And an old-school manual is just plain more fun!

Ordered a CW 3dr GTI 3 manual yesterday. This post serves as a dealer praise. Thank you to Tom at Berwick VW for the car and your great help. Only need to wait until early May for just what I wanted. Give him a call! (I am in no way associated with Berwick VW, other than to be a new customer)
Placed the order for my 5 drs GTI DSG yesterday. Luckily there is one being built this week. It will be devliverred in early May. I am so happy that I found this website when I was reaching.

These are both awesome results guys, very little wait time. I think you're going to make some of us (me included) jealous considering the mind-numbing waits we have suffered!

Dealer called this morning... my car, which arrived on the Morning Conductor into Melbourne on 6/3 has finally arrived at their dealership yesterday. He reckons I can pick it up next Saturday 2/4 just to be sure. All that time - 10 days - to do pre-delivery. Sounds too long but at this point I am pretty much over it. Actually considered cancelling the deal yesterday and buying a s-box to drive instead but the wife REALLY wants this car.
