    Hmmm - let me see - 25 year olds with pre-pubescent mentallities picking up a car in which he / she has no knowledge of the handling capabilities in either wet or dry, going flat chat in wet conditions.
    I think Dinopanta has the right mentality by conveying that he / she should be careful in the wet. Well done. As for the others, go take a defensive driving course and give a few more of us a chance to see old age

    Are you working as an agent for ratedr
    You know you are getting old when you cancel your order for a 3.6 CC and buy an Icelandic Gray TDI CC instead.

    Hey Dan...I thought i'd be the youngest but oh well lol

    I ordered mine on the 1st of July and I just picked it up today

    Very very happy with the car.

    As for being a young pubescent 25 year old...i'm far from it. I've owned many cars over the past 7 years and have done many driving courses as well as competing in many drift and track events. This is my first AWD though...and i like it!

    I bought the car from VW in Werribee...I work at Nissan and VW is one of our franchises that we own so I got to buy the car at cost

    If anyone is wanting to buy a VW please feel free to contact me and I can refer you to someone who can look after you.

    Calm down.

    Honestly, you don't think age is what gives someone talent? It gives you experience. That's it. So if your a ****e driver when your young you might be a bit better in 30 years+ but you'll still be of the ****e variety. If your good when your young you might be a bit better than that when your older.

    Both times though you only improve on what you already have, like any sport. It not like you get old and your reflexes get any better.

    Valentino Rossi. Actually any motorsports professional at the highest level? Young people handle themselves just fine.

    It's the individual. And yes a rainy day in an AWD is the goods.

    Thanks REXman, I couldn't have said it better, though will add that whilst I strongly believe that motoring should be enjoyed, drive to the conditions and your abilities and you'll have few problems
