The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

Ps I remember reading the GTI is supposed to be getting the new ugly DSG gearknob. Was that a misprint? Because that's the knob I got with the 77TSi!

Yeah - this is correct. I commented along the same lines elsewhere. The new DSG gearknob is certainly an improvement on the "T-Bar" of the previous base model cars. But to then change the GTI/GTD/R to use this same new DSG gearknob is a mistake imo.

Yes and No... it's the same "Form" across the model ranges, but the shifters in the GTI and R are constructed using Leather and Alloy (the Alloy button feels FANTASTIC to use, with a subtle sharp edge and "cool" touch IMO) where lower models use more plastics etc. I was pleased to see the change from the "Ball" equipped GTI that I test drove... I prefer the new shifter, but I appreciate that each person will have their own opinion on which is better.

I just ordered a Golf R in white with Bluetooth and MDI from Mcgrath in Sutherland, Sydney. I was told I should have it be the end of this month as there are a few on a boat that is about to dock. Im very excited and am hoping the dealer did not lie to me because that does seem like a short wait after reading this thread.

What do you guys think? Anyone has been able to get them so quickly?

Dealer order. You win. I ordered mine, it got extended, extended, extended. Cancelled the order and get a dealer order that had just arrived and was being unloaded.

I got mine the same way. If you are not fussy on options it can work out well for you.

can also get lucky if your dealer swaps a car with another one. that is what happened with me so i got mine earlier

I'll be picking up my 5dr Carbon Steel GTI (DSG, Nav, cloth seats) this Wednesday from Osborne Park VW in Perth. Only a two week wait for me, as they had a perfect car still wrapped in plastic at the local warehouse. Fresh off the boat!

So far i commend the dealership for giving me a fairly decent price, a trade in value slightly above RedBook maximum on my Subaru, and a finance rate much lower than the banks. I had to kick up a bit of a stink to get them to mail through the vehicles VIN early so i could arrange insurance on time, but that's a small complaint.

The most important thing to me? This was the only dealership that treated me (20) seriously. Sure enough, i bought the car a month after test driving it. Never judge a customer at first glance...

The RNS510 is on order and being fitted by the dealer on arrival. Will be scrounging the forums for info on judging a well-coded install.

Wednesday can't come fast enough!

I get to pickup my new R (Grey, Leather, DSG, ACC, 19" Black, BT & MDI) on Friday afternoon. It was in stock and with the colour and options I wanted - can't complain with that. I'm like a 10 year old on xmas eve.

Jealous~Congratulation~ Mine still have to wait until this Nov, ummmm

I just put a deposit down on a Candy White, 5dr, leather clad, DSG equipped, 19" black rimmed .:R.

I had to go a long way for it, but it's in stock and will be delivered next week/week after.
