Hey all, the name is Stephen ... in Brisbane though currently not an VW owner and currently own a DC5R. Yes it's a Honda. Though am looking into R36, Golf R and GTI, so thought signing up through this forum could help me gather more information. Cheers!

Post up a link.

You'll definitely appreciate a big boost in torque coming to a turbo'd or V6 VW.

....maybe? but I know quite a few people with the latest Honda and other Japanese brands that have problems with their late model car.

As a mechanic some of the worst cars iv worked on have been honda's. always weird faults and most are just out of warranty, and parts cost a fortune($370 for one door central look unit when whole kit from autobarn is around $100). Alot of faults are things you never see in other cars plus the usual suspects.

Not defending VW as the have there fair share as well but iv had no faults (touch wood) yet. but id rather buy a hyundai.

I've never had any major problems with my DC5R. The only problem I had so far was just ripped engine mounts which is common problem amongst all cars.
