The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[kennyc]

Woo hoo... picked up my car yesterday and it awesome!!!

Hey congrats yyn.
On a side note, how many k's did your car have when you picked it up. Mine was high, 70k's, but i figure they need to test drive it around to make sure it's not a dud. All good.

Hope you are enjoying it, great car!

I have 27kms on mine when I picked it up and I thought that was high... Oh, and I just checked the engine built date and it was built in Dec 09 but my car's a 10 built

Thanks dude! I did consider Wippells but a friend of mine is a teacher in Brisbane area so he was able to "hook me up". In the end I signed with a dealer in Brisbane and I got the highest level corp disc. Since Im not from QLD I dont have many friends here its pretty hard for me to get around without a car, the dealer aggreed to bring the car to me in Gatton for no extra cost!

I'm sure you're right. They apparently have to test the launch control several times before delivery, or so I've heard.

What, so they can see how much rubber they can lay down on the bitchemum?? I don't know about that. A new car built to order should have less than 20km on it.

Yeah i know, not much i can do about it either way.

[Brendan_A]

Yeah, wouldn't worry about it. When we got our new Jetta it had 90km on it, but we did put 20 of them on it. I'm expecting my new MK6 to have less than 20kms on it.

[GTI6]

Yeah when I Got my polo it had 54km on it already. I thought it was normal.


I've placed an order for a 5 door gti. Dsg acc bixenon leather sunroof park assist. Still debating with my self whether to get 18 detroits. The anticipated delivery is august September. The wait is so long! Does anyone if there's a way to speed it up?

[STV4SYT]

mine had 24km on it. and I know for a fact that it didnt do any driving other than on/off trucks.

I know this as it got delivered to the dealer on thursday at 11am. I called in after work to check it over - it had 20km on it . I picked it up at lunch time on the friday with 24. its about 2km to the servo to get it fueled.

Get the 18" Detroits!
They're ONLY $1200, so it's not possible to get anything aftermarket for that price (in fact, your tyres alone will basically cost that much), the machined face and the black painted interior of the Detroits really "finishes" the MK6 GTI well. No matter what colour GTI you get, the Detroits look much better! The ride quality is also fine (in my opinion from having owned a MKV with 18's), with the Detroits.

I just think if you don't get them, you'll be kicking yourself after seeing someone else's GTI with them on!

I ordered a Carbon GTI with leather, bi-xenons, bluetooth, MDI, 18s back in January...the ship is closing in on Freo then has to make it round to Sydney...can someone please move time forward?

The long wait ended for us on Friday. Our new 103 Comfortline with DSG was worth the wait from Feb 12 to April 30. Been a driver of lots of vehicles since 1971 and this car is by far THE best. Quiet, powerful, smooth and efficient are my first impressions.
It was superbly presented for delivery from a Chatswood dealer, with a big red bow as the car is registered in my partners name....she loves it. In hindsight we should have ordered the park assist but that may have delayed the arrival date, we'll just have to park the old fashioned way with eyes and mirrors. The DSG is amazing and I would never go back to a manual after using the DSG. The turbo diesel has heaps of torque and unlike other diesels I have driven the 103 Kw's are instantly on tap with plenty of acceleration at speeds up to 110 plus. Wait until it loosens up!! It impressed a R32 skyline driver so much that he wants one.
For all the people waiting for delivery, be prepared for a great sensation.

My other drive is 07 XTRAIL Manual,

My new car (carbon steel GTI, 5dr, 6sp man) arrived in Australia today my dealer just told me!! So two weeks for customs and a week for dealer tinkering and it should be all mine!! Self high five!
