The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[redback74]

It turned up yesterday. It looks spectacular.

MY10 Golf Wagon. 118TSI, DSG, Vienna Leather, Panoramic Sunroof ( which is awesome) sports pack in Platinum Grey.

The sunroof rocks. I traded my MY09 Golf 118TSI 5 door with sunroof, and the new roof is amazing. Pictures to come when I go for a drive. Even though its MKV platform, it still feels like the MK VI.

My only regret is that they don't do a GTI or R version of the wagon.

Congrats An R Wagon would be cool!

They do, it's called the Skoda Octavia VRS.

Was more curious about how it handled crappy city streets rather than highway conditions... I must say your pictures show me 18" rims and silver headlights looks great..

I can't speak for ACC, but the standard suspension with 18's is very compliant over poor surfaces
(my street is 5km long, and the surface has been patched and repaired alot)

Its probably not an appropriate comparison, but it is noticably comfier than our stock 2005/9N polo was (complete with 16" steel rims),
The grip in the roughest sections, seems to be almost the same as smooth surfaces, unless you hit a decent bump that upsets the balance of the vehicle.

ACC should only improve this...

I've got a 9N Polo GTI with stock suspension. That thing is so rough, that on our poor Sydney roads, it's killed its own rear suspension mounts and they needed to be replaced under warranty! So yeah.... comparing the Polo to the Golf probably isn't a good comparison! It's amazing the different in quality suspension that the next "cost tier" up provides!

[Mr_Bob]

The Polo was definately rougher than I expected,
I'm referring to a Polo Club, which should have softer suspension than the GTI?

I'm not familiar with the Polo, it was our train station car, wasn't bought for performance

The R with 18's and no ACC is basically as comfortable as my Forester with 16" steel rims, before the coilovers went in.

[Corey_R]

Yeah, you had Polo Club, then Match, then GTI. Both the Club and Match would've had "regular" suspension and the GTI "sporty" suspension. However, as good as the Polo GTI is, it's still only a low cost car, and the suspension was very harsh... self destructively so

Hasn't this thread drifted off topic guys ?
