Golf R Observations and Questions

[golf_punk]

Recent 45,000km service and they had driven 47km....yes that's 47km. And they also dented my door in three places (which is currently being fixed). Discussions with the service advisor centred around arranging for the door to be fixed so I forgot to query how they had clocked up 47km

Must've been looking for the hyperspace button

That's just dodgy. No-one needs to test drive a car for 47km. They must've been using your car as the workshop taxi!

I had 7kms on my car after the last service.

Seems reasonable imo

47km's? That's not right.....how many times they ra#@d the car during this time. That's an hour of driving around Sydney Metro....

I thought 15km's is excessive....might buy the boys a case of VB's to thanks them for only taken it 15km's

Yeah, I didn't even drive the courtesy car that much when I last had my car looked at - plus I had to pay them for petrol. You should be asking for compensation.

I never looked at how many km’s were driven (I’m sure it was excessive) but they shifted my DCC from comfort to sport – Geez, I wonder what they were up to......

Picced up the latest Wheels mag this morning as it is the COTY edition.. they were not too kind to the Scirroco.

Read that, Eric Bana liked it

I sat in a Scirocco yesterday. Woeful rear visibility, seats are worse than a GTIs (clearly designed for the larger folk out there) and the interior finish is different, and only for the worse (mirror adjustments sit in a strange place a look messy for eg).
Having bought a 3 door manual R, I certainly don't feel ripped off when I look at the price of a Scirocco (which is what those meatheads at Top Gear Australia magazine suggested in their last edition). Mind you, I have never rolled a 1M on the way to a track session either, so I guess I shouldn't care too much for their opinion. Biggest waste of a magazine subscription ever.
