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,

Opinions please - Stage 1 Octavia RS or Golf R

      But as I said earlier, the OP already owns a VRs so is very familiar with how it drives. The options he is considering are either keeping his existing car (a FWD Octy VRs), or trading it in for an AWD Golf R. A GTI is not an option he is considering, so there is absolutely no point whatsoever in driving a GTI, he is not going to buy one whichever way he goes. I don't understand why you are pushing for comparing the GTI.

          I don't know why you are refusing to read and understand what I said, but if that's the limit of your comprehension and that's the best you can do then I guess that's OK.

          You do you, I'll continue to do me and try to help people with comments that are actually relevant & useful ....

            refusing to read what.. why dont u Re-Read what you wrote .. ur comparing how ur 15 yearold car drives to a newish golf R ,, and saying thats how his new VRS will feel too........ im telling him to compare the experience to others who have GOLF GTIs of the same year as they are the basically the same car..

            Makes perfect sense... but i see you are from ACT my friend.. The land where everyone is The Most Right in the world about every topic in existance and if someone has a different way of seeing something to ACT they are all of a sudden ' something'

            I actually asked the OP how its going and uve swung right back in here doing ur little cry.

            its gold

              Mate, you've taken this waaaaaay out of context. You're interpreting the posts in this thread in a very different way to the rest of us. You seem to be fixated on one little detail without seeing the bigger picture. Please read more closely. Plus there's no need to get to get personal and add the extra 'niggle' to your posts. Play the ball and not the man. A little bit of respect goes a long way.

                im not taking anything way out of context . what im seeing is this guy is getting a bit upset about me not wanting to take into consideration his comparison of a later model golf r with his 15 year old vrs.. once again.. merely stating that guys on here with 2014 - 2015+ GTIs and tunes is a better comparison to his 2017 VRS than ACT bloke and his 15 year old VRs who needs to be acknowledged..

                I acknowledge u sir.. carry on

                  Sorry, I disagree. Re-read all of the posts again - you have misinterpreted the context, and your latest reply once again makes it unnecessarily personal. Why the niggle and why the angst? Absolutely no need for it. Forums are meant to be communities, not points-scoring, chest-beating arguments.

                    cheers.

                      Sorry, you've completely lost me. I've got no idea how old you are, but this is little more than schoolyard bickering rubbish. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
