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,

        Kedron

        A few weeks back I started my hunt for a Golf.

        First dealer I spoke to was Michael at Kedron. Very knowlegable.

        Subsequently, I visited/spoke to four other dealers and then ended up returning to Michael to order the car.

        I recommend him.

        PS:
        Austral didn't want to know me. Couldn't even provide a car to drive.
        Positive experiences at Springwood and particularly Kippa Ring

          Drove the Mk 6 GTI this morning....

          Not much difference at all from the Mk 5 GTI (as everyone has probably noticed).
          The interior is a nice upgrade though.
          Suspension seems firmer, and DSG seemed abit slower to shift.. (?)

          Unsure to go for a new one or a nice 2nd hand Mk 5 GTI.

          ....have to be manual though.. haha.

            Has anyone done any back to back testing of a car with and without the ACC option? If the car isn't equipped with the ACC, what setting is the base car closest too?

            Does it really make a difference? All these options really add up and it's one I don't think I could justify!

                    Good to see you made it here Brian. A shame I couldn't find what you were looking for price wise with the Golf, but good to see you didn't end up in the Alfa.

                    Regards,

                    Mark.
                    Cheers,
                    Mark.

                      A different dealer might have one. There is a red one at my dealer.
