Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    mate its quick alright but it lacks the power uptop around the 150+ mark lol
    my old xr6t might as well build as the gti and might not be as comfortable but i have to say when it comes to power it had LOADS of it,
    i should take the new car to the drags one day see how it goes

      Yeah anything after 140 + you could feel the lack of power. But again you are way over the speed limit A DsG golf GTi should do about 14.7-14.8 quarter mile.

      But then again, The image of driving a GTI is just unbelievably Good (Including the heritage back from MK1 GTI). And if you look at the review done by top gear *Jeremy Clarkson* you will be amaze on the Golf .

      I love it to bits.

              Sorry bro, must have got my timeline mixed up. I thought you were going to replace your brother's GTI with the new MkVI GTI. I got my black R32 as well in the end and loving every minute of the drive. I'm sure you're enjoying yours too.

                No worries! we ended up buying the R32 for a replacement of our Mitsubishi Outlander . I love it every single bits of it. The exhaust note, the look.

                It is truly a great outstanding Grand tourer car. I said similar to mini version of Aston martin v8 vantage
