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,

  • Mk V GTI?

    Hi all.... I'm new here! Looking at buying a Mk V GTI for my kids to use but my 19yo son thinks Golfs are uncool.
    Any suggestions?
    (They are P plate legal in QLD with an exemption)

    Tell him to save up and buy his own car!!!!!

    Then he may actually appreciate the GTI and your generosity .

      Oh man! I'm only 20 and would love a GTI if I could afford it myself let alone it be bought for me!

      I'm going to have to agree with tigger. Make him save up for his own car that's the only way to truly appreciate it. P platers don't need a GTI anyway, will probably get himself into trouble. Or you could get him something really uncool. Maybe a nissan micra?

          so he thinks Golfs are uncool?

          I suppose he wants an SSXR8 Falcadore taximobile?

          sit him inside the Golf and then park his butt inside the falcodore (or even an asian mobile of the same value, and then get him to compare the build quality, the quality of the seats, steering wheel dashboard plastics etc.

          And does he still feel the Golf is uncool?

            Send him up to Lakeside on Sunday morning. then see if he fancies a Polo?

            Kids these days don't know they're born. I got a 50 quid Mini, which was spares or repair. Learnt all about welding and engine removal from that car.....

              From memory the P Plate exemption in QLD is only if you have no other alternative.

              But as Gav pointed out, the polo GTI is a wicked little beast.
