VIC Just bought myself a GTI!

G'day Everyone! The name is Tofuboi. But you can call me Nathan.

Last Tuesday I took delivery of a nice 2008 Golf Mk5 GTI and I am absolutely loving it. (Except the fact I should have looked up the 60k service cost BEFORE getting one... Oops! Oh well. )

I'm a pretty easy going guy with an extensive knowledge of computers/technology and also a fairly moderate knowledge of cars and what not. I enjoy going for cruises and also a little bit of photography as well.

I found VW Watercooled through a friend who bought a brand new Golf Wagon a few months back.

I hope my time on this forum will be great! Thanks!

Nathan,

What happened to the Aurion?

Nathan,

What happened to the Aurion?

At first I wondered how you knew I owned an Aurion. I swear I didn't mention it in my initial post. Anyway the Aurion was traded in. Two reasons for that. I felt like a change and suddenly the Aurion felt it was time for everything to suddenly go wrong.

Oh, what a feeling.

Also, post pics! We all need to see your new shiny car.

Guess I should give you a couple of photos eh?







I'll put some more on later.

Sweet ride; how does a VAG 2.0T compare to a Toyota V6?

We actually tested this with my friend's 07 GTI before I got mine. On a sub 30 degree day, the V6 and the 2.0T are pretty much on par with eachother. The DSG on the GTI helps though But if it's a colder day, the GTI is 100x better.

I still prefer the GTI over the Aurion though, it's just a better package overall.
