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,

  • Hi from Brissy

    Just thought i'd say Hi.
    I'm from Brissy, northside, currently driving a Subaru but hoping to get a Caddy Life or Maxi Life soon.
    Got a few kids, few dogs and have always loved Audi quality and style since i was a kid.
    I'll see you in the posts for Caddy's some time soon.

      Hey welcome and good to see another Brisbanite

      Have you started your search yet? We can probably give you some advice on where to go/how much you should pay if you ever need it.

        You're going to tell him where to go? I thought he seemed like a nice bloke...

        Seriously though, welcome from another Brisbane new guy. Hope you find a great Audi.

            Do yourself a favour and take a drive up the coast to Gary Criks at Maroochydore, try and avoid Australs at Newstead if at all possible, you'll get a better deal and better service by taking an hour drive north.

            Good luck with the purchase.

              Haha I was thinking the same thing! But i'd change the story and go to Southport instead..

                Err.....thanks guys, i'm a chick and used to like Audi's, but now changed to a caddy fan (sorry Audi fans)
                Thanks also for your honesty about the different dealerships.
                We're looking for a demo model or something with low klm preferably in the Maxi size.
                Hubby would prefer i drive a Caravelle but they're more expensive. If I was to drive a Caravelle it would have nice mags and tinted windows to take away from the overall 'soccer mum' stigma.

                thanks for the nice howdy's!

                  Have you considered a Skoda Roomster?

                  is it a 7 seater?
                  i see it only has 2 doors, so that's a long way to crawl up to the 3rd row (if it's a 7 seater)

                  thanks for the pic.

                    Noo it's a 4 door, the handles are hidden in the C pillar so to speak..

                    Caravelle? What about a Mutivan? They're ultra-soccer-mum

                    But good luck with the search As other members have mentioned, the dealer you get it from means alot!

                      Oops, sorry about that. Shouldn't have assumed.

                      Cheers,

                      You're right. I'd just been sniffing around in the Audi quarter and got myself confused.

                      Cheers,

                        Roomster has 4 doors - the rear ones are disguised a bit in the C pillar.

                        I own one - and we absolutely love it. It is a 5 seater, with the 3 rear seats removable
