hi guys....thanks for all of your comments!
i still feel sad that I'm not getting the eos but all in all, I do think that i am happier in my decision now that i have had a few more days to think about it!
basically, i don't think it was mine that was damaged in transit (although this was never explained to me) i think it was someone elses. They then got the next available car which pushed back orders....again. really not sure what was happening with mine. nobody could let me know when mine would be ready and nobody was letting me know what was going on. dealer didn't even inform me there had been any trouble - i heard through someone i know that works there. i decided (having had seriously bad car trouble before!) that this was a bad omen and cancelled my order.
about the water trouble on the boat.....i also didn't think it would be possible but that is the story i was given.......! who know what the actual truth is...
i know that there can be issues with any car but decided that when i had heard so much about the water issues, i didn't want to get into it! i decided on a golf as i have had polo's in the past and my brother has a golf. my bro's golf is lovely and the big thing..........i can fit my golf clubs in it (which was NEVER going to happen in the eos!)
i have been car-less since Jan (borrowing my mums!) so was also getting impatient! was going to order the gttdi 140bhp from new but i have actually found a pre reg gttdi 170 dpf so have gone for that. picking it up on tuesday so excited about that! really couldn't face another 8 weeks wait!
sure......I'll post a pic before i leave you (then you can all see how fantastic your eosses look in comparison

)
hope you all love your cars though and i might pop into the site every so offen to see how you are getting on!
happy trouble free driving to one and all and it has been lovely talking to you!!!
