Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

[Pauly]

I was also wondering guys.

I get of my P's in late October 2010. and under the Vic laws for P platers I cannot own or drive a Golf GTI. Which doesnt bother me, as I need time to save haha.

However, would I be able to go and test drive and order a Golf GTI early in say July or August, and then have it ready for delivery in October?

Just drive the other models you'd get a good enough idea..

Not too much guess work whether the GTI is good, just order one. Could always let your dad test drive it anyway (since he's probably buying it ).

There are some other VW cars (it maybe the R36 R50?) which have Foglights removed when Xenons are on the car?

It came up because when I went to see the Mk6 Golf at VW in Glen Waverley in Victoria. The guy I spoke to mentioned that on some VW Models Foglights are removed when Xenons are on, and I havent been bothered to chase up if it was the case with the Mk6 GTI.

Then the answer for the GTI is no. All the press photos of the GTI had Xenon and Foglights present. There is also no mention of foglight deletion in the specs.

Well, I don't think it'd be legal for you to test drive the car whilst you're still on your P's. Maybe you'll just have to get the dealer to drive you around to demonstrate the potential of the car instead

Just talk to the dealers and see what they can arrange for you

Sorry man. This cars is all mine. My parents have a very hard line apprach to cars and alike.

My 1st car and this car, are all from me saving up.

However in the case of the GTI, Im thinking that I may need to take a small loan out (10K or so).

Good stuff, pretty wicked first car.

haha,

I got a Toyota Corolla Levin SX as my 1st car back in April 2008.

And I thought that since im getting off my P's, I should get the GTI.

So it will be my 2nd car.

But nether of these cars my parents paid a cent for.

Yeh, you won't be able to test drive it whilst you're still on your P's. My salesguy though I was still on my P's (which I'm not) when I asked for a test drive and then mentioned that P's aren't allowed to take it out...

Then again, I assume it all depends on what salesguy you get....

Does anyone here know when the MY2011 models will start coming out in Australia?

[elisiX]

Mate we don't know anything about MY2011.

afaik, there were not changes for MY2010 were there?

Usually after July they build the MY20xx updates.

Yeah - there is no point waiting for an MY11 model unless there is going to be some specification changes for it. When it comes to resale, the 'MYxx' has no influence on price unless there is something significantly different about that new model (different engine revision, or RNS-510 vs the old crappy DVD nav etc). What's important is the build date. That is what dealers etc will use as the basis for valuating a car.
