R36 Road Test/ Reviews

[R36 Dreamer]

Howdy,

I thought it might be a good idea to get a separate thread going for reviews and road tests.

Other than the Danish Report in a separate thread, it would be good if we can point out other road tests.

I dont think articles just dealing with spec's need be added (given we have all probably read them to death), just actual real world testing.

I am still worried that it will be slammed by the media, and hope this doesn't happen. The UK forums are definately not complimentary of the idea, even though a real test has not been done.....

Hope to see some good reviews when people come across them.

Cheers.

What are some of the UK forums? I tried to find some, but couldn't...!

The R36 has been available in the UK now for close to 3 weeks and I still can't find a review yet. What is going on?

[Steve]

Yeah, it's not even mentioned on the Volkswagen UK website!

I'm searching Google and YouTube and a few other sites daily but I'm not coming up with any new road tests - just the same regurgitated press release crap.

PS. Here's the only review we've found so far. Google doesn't get the Danish translation spot on but it gets close enough to be able to understand most of it.

Here is where you should be putting road tests / reviews.

Finally - a real road test. Not quite as enthusiastic as I would have hoped, but certainly not bad.

Deedub eyes his order form and deposit receipt nervously and wonders if the "jittery ride" may be a problem on Adelaide's crappy roads...

Yes, I can just imagine bouncing down Parramatta Rd on my way home from the dealer for the first time.

Once Wheels or Motor have a spin I'm sure they will like it.
