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,

    My first choice colour was Lapiz Blue but the 5 month ordering time (for a manual) was too long so I got it in white. The monochrome palette actually works well.

        I believe the three year warranty was included and I opted for an extra two years at a discounted price. Only reason is because I think I'll finally settle on this car as a long term option. It's literally got everything I need.

            It was $1,800 odd for the extra 2 years but they gave it to me for $1,600.

            Thanks for the kind words!

            • Hey guys,

              Ordered my Lapiz blue MK 7 R a few weeks ago, hoping to get it this or next week. I'm stepping out of a Subaru BRZ which is one of the best handling cars I've owned but really underpowered and impractical.

              Also owned a MK IV GTI a number of years ago. VW have come a long, long way since then!

              • well I made an offer on a brand new golf R, DSG, & extended factory warranty - $54k drive away.

                no trade in, dealer said he's going to 'crunch the numbers' & get back to me on monday.

                  You'd do very well to get that price. Is that with Sunroof and Driver's assist package?

                    That is good. I got that price in December for a stock Manual.

                      no, not interested in those options at all.

                      $55k is the best actual sale price for a 2016 dsg R I've found in Perth recently - without the 5 year warranty - so i rekon i would be doing pretty well to knock a grand off that & get the extra 2 years warranty at $1800 included.

                        Fair enough!
                        Good luck, let us know how you go.

                        • I called Sydney VW dealer on Friday to ask about ordering a new GTI - manual, Red with leather seats and was told 6 month wait. That sounds crazy to me.

                          Does this sound right to others?

                          • Well in November last year I was told that if I wanted a manual R in blue it would be May 2016 before I got it, so it's possible based on what is in the country or already on a boat.

                            • My manual R landed on the 2nd June and will hopefully be complied and at the dealer this Friday. 54k with assistance no roof. Probably will pay for the additional warranty.

                                no call back today, so it seems they dont want the sale.
                                might see if another dealer is interested.
