The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[toranova]

Congrats - you'll love the car (even more so if you go for an APR Stage 1 upgrade)

I want to its just the warranty im worried about

took delivery of R recently - well worth wait.
Love the exhaust note in S when downshifting.
Scared I will lose licence before properly run in.
ACC definitely makes a difference in S mode and I am a big fan of bigger wheels for added grip.
Had a Golf V before and VI dynamics are heaps better.
Annoying lag in D but will live with it until APR upgrade.
People can keep their Focus, Renault and 135's - this car is awesome IMHO.

Because its only a software upgrade most insurance companies don't care (RACV don't) - but there's other threads to discuss that.

Gratz mate! Should have my R in a week or so now too! Nice to hear you love the car! I caaaaaaaan't wait lol!

Had the GTI MkV Golf and before that a 2L FSI Golf V.
I'm totally VW'd
The R is by far the tightest and most responsive and I'll do the APR after the 1st service ( blown budget )
I have an UG , with ACC, BT,sat-nav and RVC,leather seats ,S/R and 19"wheels and loving the DSG.
Could not get to test drive the manual but in this modern day and sitting in traffic alot - the DSG is definitely the go.
Only disappointment with kit is I feel the 2011 should also have included a start button and electonic hand-brake - otherwise very happy

My Old GT went last night, and i got an SMS yesterday saying the new car will be ready "within a week"

Alli need now is for the bank cheque to clear before it arrives....

fingers crossed.

Rarely do we see smokers going back to petrol. Was there any particular reason? I pick up a cs GTD next week. Sold my 2.0 TDI privately

[alf13]

Finally took delivery of my GTD.

Fantastic car and absolutely loving it.

As I am interstate more then I am at home, so my partner is having a ball in it. Damm

Can't wait to give it a good work out.

Finally ill be soon owning a golf gti. Ordered from the dealer and expecting delivery in 5 months! Yeepeee

Hey FCBraji, For your sake i hope so. A few of us placed our GTI orders in Nov / Dec (i placed mine in October) and recently got word from my dealer i should expect a June/July delivery after an initial ETA of February....

Ouch, that sux. What was the reason given to you for the huge delay? And is the reason acceptable to you?

I suspect I am in the same situation. Initial ETA is end Mar but no word from dealer yet as to that is happening or not.
