That I'm still waiting for it to be built and then there is the 12 week wait for the ship to arrive.

That the cup holders and tray in front of the gears are open. Have arranged to get that fixed prior to delivery thanks to the info found here.

I find it weird that you don't seem to have it in the UK. It's been an option for a while already at least in Finland (and naturally also in Germany).

Link in German. You can find the option under "Funktion" as 'Rückfahrkamera "Park Assist"'

Yeah, It's doable with bits and pieces but its not a factory option

Did it used to be an option? It's a 170 GT Tdi with rns510, on a company lease but I spose the supplying dealer may have offered it as an option.

Crap wipers (the dreaded smear) even after replacing them, no screen-wash warning light (unless u have the optional winter pack), the doors are too long and heavy, and rear visability can by troublesome because of the fixed rear head restraints and sloping roof.

To be fair, these points should have been apparent before you bought the car!Just saying........

All stuff that makes the car look as good as it does... I've never really needed any more rear visibility myself and I even like the weight and size of the doors. It's just a matter of taste, of course, but to me they feel like "proper" doors and not just some cardboard flaps you close to keep the wind out. I took an Audi A5 SB for a test drive some weeks ago and thought its front doors felt flimsy and weirdly narrow by comparison.

1. The back seems to be less aggressive and not as bold in style as the front of the car
2. Why oh why oh why did they not give the interior of the car the style to match the exterior. It needs that personality inside.

Thats it, the rest I am reasonably happy with, and the above did not do anything to make me for mthe TT instead, still preferred the ROC after a detailed test drive on both cars.

This a thousand%. When I walk up to it it feels like scirocco when I sit in it it could be any vw. Disappointing. !!!
