Picked up my GTI this afternoon and am loving it so far, it sounds great from inside and I just love the handling and ride even with the 18's on it. Great, great, great fun!

After 4 weeks of deliberation and endless discussions (read arguments) with the missus, I finally placed an order for a Mk6 Golf 118 TSI DSG. Bought it from Werribee VW (a bit of a commute for me, but they were the most helpful & friendly) for $38500 driveaway with these extras:
Vienna leather
Sunroof
MDI + iPod Cable
RCD510
Rear parking sensor
Floor mats
Full tank of fuel
10% off all servicing costs
1 year extended dealer warranty

Because the car I wanted was on a ship heading to Sydney, I got a dealer swap - got my onroads paid for & am expecting to pick up the car in Melbourne, well, Werribee, by the end of the month. Hopefully, I won't miss the 30th June deadline, though if there is a delay, I'm guessing the dealer will pick up the tab for the onroads if VW don't pay him.

Can't wait !

Picked up my R today.
What a phenomenal machine!!!
Everything was perfect on it and had been detailed beautifully, not a swirl mark or grime particle to be seen or felt.
The Tech in the car is fantastic and am sure many hours will be spent studying the manual or will just get my 12 year old boy to tell me how it all works

He was one of the main reasons I decided on the R....a big car fan.
The Recaros are the most comfortable,supportive seats I have been in but can imagine for someone who spends alot of time in and out it may get a little annoying.
Am a happy camper after 10 months of waiting.
Hope you all receive your dubs soon and you enjoy the first drive as much as I did......I am still grinning.
Cheers.

Hey sman suck it up it doesn't get old..

The tech rocks, I spent an hour i the car configuring the RNS510 till it was set right for me and now it rocks. You have to memorise the voice commands. The MDI is a tad fiddley but once you get the hang on it you will enjoy.

You need to take it for a run at night out of the city, the rear vision antiglare is perfect and the ambient glow from the roof console over the centre console is a nice touch

anyway I won't rob you of all the kewl stuff but enjoy

I found that perfect as well. I have never had a car with it and was not sure what I was getting. It seems it dims and brightens in graduations so the headlights are dimmed but you can see the car behind you. I thought it would be just on and off.
