Hi all,
Been around here for a while, having had a few turbo 4's over the years ('98 WRX, '06 RS225 Cup, and lastly the '06 MK5 Turbo Jetta)...
Melbourne based until moving up to Sydney in June last year - now enjoying living by the coast out in Malabar. Picked up my 36 a few months ago after searching for a Grey or White wagon, always preferred the shape over the sedan. Haven't really had the urge (or time) to do any mods as yet...except for throwing in a K&N panel filter recently.
Car comes with a few options; sunroof, satnav, reverse camera & powered tailgate. Overall very impressed with it and happy to be back in something with awd grip...and of course the sound. This would have to be the first car i haven't wanted to modify the exhaust from the moment I drove it away.
Plans for the future? A nice set of 19's, maybe some OEM Savanna's for something different. And if i can do so without compromising the ride, would like it sitting about 20-30mm lower. Brushed aluminium mirror caps if they exist. Found a few holes in the front grille once i had removed the black plate holder, debating about whether to leave as is, get Euro plates or change grille.
Only problem I have is not being able connect any phone to the Bluetooth - the steering wheel controls won't enable me to press OK when trying to pair...the previous owner said i may need someone who can use vag-com to change this, might be one for the tech section.
A few shots from the drive down from QLD, the advantages of finally having a car with satnav? You see those roads that branch off the highway for a 'detour'...a good way to get to know the new wheels. Biggest surprise initially was selecting S mode to overtake...couldn't believe the response.
And a few more...
Cheers,
Anthony
