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.

I thought I saw that red one on Saturday, although it was a way out from Hawthorn so must have been another new red one with Euro plates. They definitely have some presence on the road. I don't think I could buy one myself, but the black one does look cool.
I assume that's Kylie who used to be at the Medindie site. One of the good ones in the car game..

I had a look over the New Beetle with Sports Package at my local dealer today, and its definately looking less girly than the old model.
In particular, those dash mounted dials above the centre stack looks very attractive and give it a harder look. Nice upgrade.2013 CC 130TDI Night Blue Metallic with Driver Assistance Package, Park Assist 2, Walnut Trim and Ambient Lighting, Front Active Climate Control Seats, Towbar, and Dynaudio Premium Audio.

Hi, new to the Beetle side of the forum
Just put a deposit on a Fender Edition
this will be my 5th VW having had a 1300 Beetle back when.
My current cars are a Scirocco R and an Audi TTTig 162 R-Line; Audi TTComment

I love it, but want more power... shame we won't ever see the GSR.
If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.Comment

Congrats - the interior of the Fender with the wood trim looks pretty special. I'm not a huge fan of the shiny wheel covers but I acknowledge they suit the design of the special edition.Originally posted by mr gee View Post
The interior of the Beetle feels a generation newer than my Golf R even if it's got the same nav unit - the most noticable difference is the keyless entry which I can't believe isn't even an option on the flagship R models.
I tried pretty hard to buy a Beetle with the 2.0T engine, but it just wasn't going to happen no matter which dealer I tried to bribe or sweet talk.Originally posted by The_Hawk View PostI love it, but want more power... shame we won't ever see the GSR.
In the end I bought a 1.4TSI anyway, and from the 30kms or so of driving I did delivering it from dealership into my wife's custody it's actually pretty good. The 7 speed DSG picks up off the line much quicker than the 6 speed in my R, so for around town driving it feels pretty snappy.
Of course it won't be near as handy for overtaking slow trucks at 100kph on a single lane highway, as it's the triple-figure acceleration times that really need big power, but as a city car it'll do nicely.
Naturally it'll get the APR treatment for another 40kW in the very near future.Comment
