Hi from a very new VW convert. I had been looking for some time for a replacement for my Liberty 3.0r. Liked the Passat CC, waited for the new Liberty, nice drive but the styling didn't grab me. Also looked and drove a Falcom G6E turbo, nice car, loads of power but felt big. Couldn't decide......... until I drove an R36. Well that was it, I found it to be just a fun drive so am now the proud owner of a black R36. So far only 3000k but am impressed with fuel consumption and it is still fun to drive.
I live in SE Qld and there doesn't seem to be too many around these parts so I am interested in learning and sharing experiences with other owners of these cars.
I have heard people talk about VW quality and reliability problems still persisting, are there issues with the R36?

Welcome aboard Greg, glad to hear you are enjoying your R36.

I don't think any new car with complex systems is going to be as reliable as some of the older, simpler cars were. The Passat sub-forum seems to have a few threads dealing with some of the more common issues.
