Hi Guys,
My first post, so i wanted to make it a good one!
Just picked up my new Golf this afternoon after a 3 month wait. Was told back in August that the car would arrive late December, and from the threads i read on this site i figured around 4 months was to be expected. To my surprise, last Friday the dealership (Barloworld Mascot) called up and said that the car had arrived 4 weeks early because the shipment of VW's (which my car was apart of) docked in Sydney.
Have to admit, was becoming somewhat disheartened over the past 2 weeks wondering whether the wait would be worth it. Wow, how wrong i was to think such things! Not only did the car exceed my expectations, but just blew me away (and a whole bunch of other cars whilst in pole position at the first set of traffic lights after leaving the dealership!). There is alot to be said for the amazing feeling you get by sitting in your car when it has all of 8 km on the clock!
I've read with great interest all threads on the Mk 5 Golf and in particular the TDi (thanks Brackie), and have to say that the information i gained on this site went a long way to helping me choose VW above any other vehicle. Will say upfront that i am an absolute convert. Granted it's early days and i have many thousands of kilometers before she's run in, but hopefully this will be the beginning of a whole series of VW's in my driveway!
Thanks again for all your information.
Cheers,
diffa
