40 year old idiot, new golf, had a MK II 16v before in my youth, and as we have a family 7 seater, this is my bit of fun when needed.

38 yo Perth, ordered Golf R in June, so should see it November also from Dermot. Going to have to arrange a combined Golf R collection day with the Perth members who have ordered one

[Maverick]

So, I was just wondering...what is the average age of people buying or owning a new Golf these days...?

Judging by the unreasonable nature of many new owners in the Mk6 forum it's around 6 years old.

38 yrs old, married with kids, i've owned many cars over the years but when my R arrives in November will be my first ever VW.

Going! Going! — any advance on 85?

Slowly getting used to my TDI.

Naah. Can't beat that. But will be 75 in a few months time, shortly after 118TSI due to be delivered! So this will be MY birthday present to ME
Made a mistake when retiring. After long succession of company cars, simply purchased present car without even a road test. OK, got fleet discount, but should have had a test drive.
So after my daughter driving me around in a MKV Golf, finally did test drive MK6 golf (and many others).
BTW, for the demographic, retired professional. (X-Ray engineer.)

wow weve got a really good demongraphic spread here guys

i think we should charge VWA for doing their market segmentation work for them.... u know how much companies pay for this type of information?!?!

[Ryan_R]

Well how many non-professional people use Internet forums?

Buying my first ever VW, GOLF R, turned 29 last week, In a relationship but that can change If someone gives me my golf sooner than later.

Just to add: I bought my Golf myself but I live at home still till I finish uni (that I have decided to back F/T and complete). So to be honest, without my parents hooking me up rent free and food i dont know If I would have saved up enough to be buying cars all the time let alone an R.

If you can hear me, i love ya MA!!

This thread is definitely an eye opener, I thought I might be changing to a more discreet option in the mk6 GTI a little early in life at 28... but clearly not!

As per most I would fall under the "professional" umbrella. Changing to the GTI from an EVO VIII and can't wait to blend into traffic again Taking delivery next week I hope.

The 2002 RX-7 type R, may be one of the sexiest cars of all time.

[lakeman]

49 year old professional WRX owner orders a Golf R which will arrive after I turn 50 !
Does that mean I officially qualify as an "old fart"?

In a relationship but that can change If someone gives me my golf sooner than later.

LOL. I'm wearing out my taxi credits at the moment too being without a car.
