Finally a Bonafide R36 Member

[Leagle]

Finally received delivery of my R36 Wagon last Wednesday...been the longest 9 month wait of my life between placing the order and delivery!

Unfortunately, Dynaudio option which was ordered wasn't fitted (refund coming from dealer) annoying that the factory managed to not fit it that as per the order.

The car itself is MAGNIFICENT, have managed to put 1,500k on the speedo already. Had to drive from Sydney to Henty on the weekend (About 1 hour north west of Albury) The drive was excellent with regards to comfort and expectations regarding performance. The car easily cruised along @ 120kph and drove beautifully. Also had many admiring looks as we passed cars or were stopped at service stations along the way.

The wait was indeed worth it!

Hey Dr. Block, just caught up with your post - contrats mate. You're finally part of the VW ownership crew. I bet you've put on a few more kays since.

Real shame to hear that they stuffed up your Dynaudio order, couldn't they retrofit it? (I would have insisted!) Anyway, the stock system should still be reasonable and I guess you can always upgrade later on. Let us know what your favourite feature about the R36 (stonking engine aside) is in due course.

Hmmm... Good idea for a thread...

Thanks Leagle...Apart from the engine, I'm a huge fan of the seats, extremely comfortable and rather toasty when the seat heater is engaged. It was a bummer having the Dynaudio left out, but the stock system isn't too bad and i'm enjoying the MDI with the Ipod.

Sounds like you are seriously enjoying the R36. I can relate to your comments about the seat heater, it really is one of those "options" that you don't care about when you don't have it but really love when you do. Perhaps thats why many Passats come with standard heat seaters!
