there are many pleasures when getting into the Black. Sensory awareness with the visual the dash and instruments, the feel of the wheel and the enveloping seats, but one of the most enjoyable is the smell of the leather seats...

Still waiting for piccies.. I think you are making it all up

[weewilly]

I want to its just the warranty im worried about

[docballs]

took delivery of R recently - well worth wait.
Love the exhaust note in S when downshifting.
Scared I will lose licence before properly run in.
ACC definitely makes a difference in S mode and I am a big fan of bigger wheels for added grip.
Had a Golf V before and VI dynamics are heaps better.
Annoying lag in D but will live with it until APR upgrade.
People can keep their Focus, Renault and 135's - this car is awesome IMHO.

Because its only a software upgrade most insurance companies don't care (RACV don't) - but there's other threads to discuss that.

Gratz mate! Should have my R in a week or so now too! Nice to hear you love the car! I caaaaaaaan't wait lol!

Had the GTI MkV Golf and before that a 2L FSI Golf V.
I'm totally VW'd
The R is by far the tightest and most responsive and I'll do the APR after the 1st service ( blown budget )
I have an UG , with ACC, BT,sat-nav and RVC,leather seats ,S/R and 19"wheels and loving the DSG.
Could not get to test drive the manual but in this modern day and sitting in traffic alot - the DSG is definitely the go.
Only disappointment with kit is I feel the 2011 should also have included a start button and electonic hand-brake - otherwise very happy

My Old GT went last night, and i got an SMS yesterday saying the new car will be ready "within a week"

Alli need now is for the bank cheque to clear before it arrives....

fingers crossed.

Rarely do we see smokers going back to petrol. Was there any particular reason? I pick up a cs GTD next week. Sold my 2.0 TDI privately

[alf13]

Finally took delivery of my GTD.

Fantastic car and absolutely loving it.

As I am interstate more then I am at home, so my partner is having a ball in it. Damm

Can't wait to give it a good work out.

Hey FCBraji, For your sake i hope so. A few of us placed our GTI orders in Nov / Dec (i placed mine in October) and recently got word from my dealer i should expect a June/July delivery after an initial ETA of February....

Ouch, that sux. What was the reason given to you for the huge delay? And is the reason acceptable to you?

I suspect I am in the same situation. Initial ETA is end Mar but no word from dealer yet as to that is happening or not.
