A Bunch Of Merged "My New Car / Order" Threads

[kaoticice]

I'm all for VW technology, engineering and style, but their reliability is the 13th worst in the USA. And all those who are about to argue with the facts, as measured FOR the manufacturers (they PAY for this service), should go watch Religulous, cause living in fantasy seems to be your reality.

Do you smell something burning?

seriously.. u might be right.. but ur comment is... to be honest.... should be
-.-
u owe some1 an apology mate

First batch? Golf VI has been manufactured and shipped for 6 months before ever arriving in AU. They've shipped over 100,000 of the things and they still working out the kinks? Vacuum hoses falling off. DSGs (and they've built over 1 million of those) still clunking?

Next one will be perfect?

in 2008, 128 out of 100 VW's sold in the US had problems in the first 90 days of ownership (1 car may have more than 1 problem). Compared to an industry average of 118, and Toyota at 104. Porsche top the charts with 87.

Then Why don't you stick with your 'Toyota' and Stick in Japanese car manufacturer forums ? (If you think they are so good)

I have MK5 GTI for 3 years, and nothing has gone wrong, My CEO just bought half a year ago with no issue at all

Sorry mate, I have never heard that many VW owner in Australia(at least in my area) complain about reliability.
My Japanese car 'Mitsubishi Outlander' in the other hand had a broken Radiator in the first year of ownerships, Suspension rattle issue, Seat belt rattle and cannot be fixed, that is the reason I'm getting rid of it and pre-ordered a MK6 GTI.


twotribez Don't listen to him, If he want a so called 'Reliable' car in his 'Fantasy world' he could stick with a boring Toyota, or Failed Honda.
My Mitsubishi Outlander had so many issues that I could not be bothered to fixed it anymore, and think of how many recalled does TRD aurion had in Toyota?
One of my Friend Mazda 3 and he had a Gearbox issue in the first year of ownership, and now he had a broken steering CV joint.
Of course we all know that Japanese car are generally more reliable, burt that is because they ae so simple and boring(as to say that they are build with no soul and passion but just to fit the market).

I personally don't care, as long as I could drive from A to B with the biggest Smile in my face .
I will take Euro Car ANYDAY.

Haha no worries I am sticking with VW

spoke to a dealer two weeks ago and said that a november/december delivery has been flagged...although i would say jan-mar 2010 given track record. i.e. mk5 gti, and more recently the r36 was delayed by several months if i recall correctly. but regardless...it's worth the wait!

[Steve]

After being announced for Australia, the R36 wasn't delayed - there was talk of it but I actually got mine earlier than expected.

However, from conception to production it was delayed.

I still haven't been able to place an order for a Mark 6 GTI on behalf of my mother... despite the dealer knowing that we will as soon as we can.

*Finger crossed* I'm currently really really frustrated as VW Australia Did not announced anything at ALL. I felt like taking my deposit and buy R32 instead.

Motor Magazine 'May' edition clearly stated that GTI MK6 will be release at October, however I've heard SO Many different answer from everywhere.

This really pissed me of how they did not bothered to confirmed it. I will be much happier if they can confirmed saying it will be here next year may, at least i know and i could make my decision. But now all i have is PUZZLE and question marks.

[golfmk6]

So far the car drives well. I have some rattle noise which I need to check on at the first service but so far so good...

[windyzz]

Update:
VW Dealer can confirmed that the car will Arrive This year, however there is no set of date/month yet.

Also The latest 'Wheels magazine' June edition had STated that Golf GTI MK6 is coming here @ 'September' in the incoming section.

[Lima]

I was in at Lennock Volkswagen today and the guy I spoke said August-September for the GTI.

I'm still a bit skeptical, but things are looking much better than I first thought.

WOOOHOOOO
COOL MANNNNNN. I think VW need to rushed it due to the MPS coming this August. And RHD is already build anyway, just need the order and shipping.

Its definitely will be september 09 for the first batch, and after quarantine etc, it should be available October as Every magazine/journalist said.

However it could be earlier, like the R36 (Hopefully).

P.S. I will Call my local dealer 'Chatswood classic car' tomorow, and will update this again.

Cheers

NZ gets it within the next month so may arrive earlier than expected. Priced a few thousand up on the last GTi though, but that might be a NZ thing only.

WahhOOOOOO.
THis make my DAY MATE . Hope its coming SOONER.

CHEERS

[Yevvy]

$58,340?!!! I guess it's in NZ. How much was the mk5?

[tentacles1]

I think they were about $54k. Scirocco is $56k so the new GTi is priced a little above that. These prices are for a 5 door with DSG though.

[windyzz]

Ah.... price is quite expensive there. I'm calling my dealer, but unfortunately they are all busy.
