Its certainly a pain if they changing things and don’t tell us.
I currently have a Tiguan on order and have a detailed specification PDF sheet of the car as it was on the day of order and I check once a week that nothing has changed.
Up to now its been OK with no changes to spec or delivery time, delivery time I’m not too worried about but omitting items from the car could well bring a cancellation and looking at something else. It’s not something I normally do but even after putting an order in for a car I’m still looking out for alternatives just incase.
I understand your feeling of losing interest as I sat on the fence for a couple of months with my lease extended but then started to get worried about manufactures price increases that everyone is getting, Motability or non Motability customers.
