The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[Ohmang]

Finally took delivery of my GTI today. Excellent vehicle and was definitely worth the wait as so many on this forum have said.

No problems whatsoever and I will post some pics and a vid when the weather is better here in Sydney.

Big congrats! But oh oh on the china SatNav thingy - usually end up in tears. Definitely should go for original item sourced from ebay seller.

Nicely optioned car.... but....

... is ruined by a cheap Chinese head unit! Stick with the RNS 510, it's available for ~$1000 and is far better then any of the cheap Chinese knockoff units.

Ahh sorry you got it wrong I am not replacing the head unit it is a module that gies inside the RCD510 to convert it to Navigation (so I can run IGO or simular). Btw I have a so called cheap Chinese radio in my current MK5 and on comparison I would rather that than the RNS ( I now is is modifilale to a point) But has no speed camera alerts.... POI's are also a pain to add..... the so called cheap radios are geeting better and better. Just look at this one Maisun technology(HK) Limited I would be happy to have that in my car ...even thinking of updating the current one to this....

Ewww...in that case, I would rather keep RCD510 as is and get a separate SatNav e.g. Tomtom or Garmin.

Cheap chinese DIN, from experience, are crap - there is a reason why they are cheap.

Just ordered the Golf 77TSI for the missus. She wanted Blue and the only one I could find was in the Gold Coast so I'm hopping on the Airtrain when I land in Brisbane airport next month, hopping off at the Gold Coast and meeting the dealer there!

Then driving back to Brisbane that evening. Fun!

Gives us a chance to run it in.

Paid 25889 for metallic paint and dealer fitted parking sensors.

Missus had wanted a smaller car like the Polo at first. But the driveaway deal on the Golfs are too good. Plus I figured once she gets used to the size, the R or GTI is an easier sell!

Ps I just thought it bore mentioning the 1.2T engine with is surprisingly torquey. Tested a Volvo C30 2.0 NA just before with their version of DSG and it was slow and sluggish in comparison.

Nice one DoggieHowser. Who on the Coast did you deal with? I bought my GTI from them and found their service to be light years better than the stuck up pricks here in Brisbane.

Been dealing with Rob from James Frizelles VW.

Actually I thought Mark from Austral was OK too. Would have gotten it from him had he the car in the color my missus wanted. I will probably reach out to him once I move over for good for my own car.
