Yes, mines a manual also. Seems a really smooth gearbox, very impressed all round so far. No kangarooing at all as yet either forwards or in reverse.

Picked it up yesterday, thankfully fully constructed! First impressions very favorable, really refined, very smooth both gearbox and engine. Impressed by first experience of adaptive cruise control on the M11 but I suspect it is one of those things that you need to use a fair bit before deciding how...

Contacted by dealer yesterday afternoon to say it had arrived, picking up next Wednesday. Will be a week shy of the 4 months they quoted when ordered (28th Jan). I've gone from wondering if it would ever get built to excited anticipation of picking it up in a few days! Still, probably better that wa...

My box of parts is now "in the UK", I couldn't have driven it to the channel port and put it on the ferry myself any quicker! Has now gone from "build week scheduled" to "in the UK" in 3 days, 2 of them a weekend. I suspect the tracker has certain inaccuracies as regard...

IKEA Passat Estate, hope the instructions are included and there aren't any screws missing.

My Passat Estate has just gone straight from "Build week confirmed" to "In transit, Your Passat Estate is on its way" on the tracker with no "Build in Progress" stage at all! Oh well, not complaining. Ordered end of January.

My bog standard Urano Grey 1.5TSi ACT 150PS manual SE Business DSG Estate has just gone from "with the factory" to "build week confirmed" on the tracker this week. I notice that although the build week is confirmed they don't actually appear to tell you what it is, unless I'm mis...

My Passat Estate has been sitting as "Your order is with the factory" on the tracker from about 2 days after I ordered it near the end of Jan this year. Be interested to see when it receives a build week designation and if it actually turns out correct. I am hoping the wait has gone down a...

Hi David, Thanks for the info, that sounds a bit more encouraging than the previous posts. It came up as "with the factory" the day after I ordered so will be interesting to see how long it stays there before getting a date. The Passat just seemed a bit more solid and well put together tha...

Just signed up in anticipation of receiving my Passat Estate SE Business 1.5 TSI ACT 150PS 6-speed which I ordered two days ago, 29th Jan. Hope you don't mind me joining in but I was getting a bit worried reading this(!) and had a couple of questions which I hoped you may be able to shed some light ...
