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,

      Nice. Mine is getting closer. Docked a few days ago.
      The only option on my car is BT (well and sports pack), and since it was the only 118 DSG united grey with sports pack on it's way I grabbed it. Looking forward to the BT option now

                      • Well the 3 doors will likely have less body flex than the 5 doors... 2 less big holes in the bodywork!

                          If your concerned with body flex then you shouldn't be buying a hatch.
                          As for the difference between a 3 and 5 door hatch, well that is a mute point when you have a great big hole in the back of the car.

                            Agreed. These arguements are immaterial in my opinion and if you want perfect handling with no roll etc, buy a crotch rocket like a Lotus Elise which has bone hard ride and requires a size 28 to squeeze in and out of.....

                              Or a sedan if your real concern is body flex, but worry between a 3 & 5 door hatch is pointless.

                                Whilst I bought my 5 door from stock, I still would have ordered the same and I don't have a family. It's about accessability, I've had 2 coupes in the last 7 years and whilst they look great, the doors are much bigger which limits tight parking options (getting in and out). I also play golf and often have 2 sets of clubs in the car, easy access to the back seat, including folding the rear seat easily was a big factor. Especially now I have put a sub in the cargo area, the back seat is now the primary carrying area for clubs.

                                It's mostly an old age thing
