Wowsers.

I was considering getting a Mk5 GTI, but this thread is making me think twice... How common is it for Mechtronic Units to die?

I hope for your sake that VWA come to the party and chip...

Damn, now you'll have to update the delivery date on your sig! :P

Wouldn't bother me at all, I want a 5 door with DSG anyway. I can understand how it would disappoint others though...

Sign of the times, it's what the majority of customers want.

I was first interested in a Mk6 GTI, but it would be a couple of years before I could afford one (I prefer to buy outright than get a...

Thanks for your replies.

Lima: I'd prefer 5 door DSG, but I don't mind if it's 3 door and manual. If I can get a good price, I'll consider any that have done less than 90,000km and in good...

Hi guys,

As the title suggests, I am *considering* buying a Mk5 GTI - a 2005 or 2006 make (or a 2007 if you know of one under $30K without a high amount of KMs!). I originally planned on waiting...

They don't add resale value, they add resale appeal. There is a difference. Nothing wrong with leather seats if that's what you want, but in reality it's just as big of a gimmick as Park Assist...

I'm not sure what they are, found them on a UK forum.

These are the one of the only after market rims I've seen on a GTI that I actually like. For me, it would either be these or the 18" Detroits.

No more so than leather seats. At least Park Assist actually does something.

Couldn't you have just gone through a car broker as they would be able to get the Corporate Discount, and then get them to negotiate the price down further?

Congrats on your purchase. What do you mean by the above statement?

So with Uncle Kev's 50% deduction, you still pay full price for the vehicle up front and have to wait until July next year to make the claim?

You can add me to the Mk6 list. I think the front of the Mk5 looks tacky/cheap.

So your dealer confirmed VAG will be passing on the 5% reduction?

Has anybody else downloaded the GTi game on their iPhone? VW licensed a racing game from Firemint, which allows you to download a free smaller version of the Firemint racing game, where you can race...

My apologies, I assumed the RCD510 was sat nav. So yes, probably around RRP then. My bad :P

I've seen a few advertised on carsales.com.au recently at discounted prices. I'm only going by the options I can visually see on the pic's attached to the advertisements, but if they are the same as...

What actually happens at the "Launch"? And will this be at all VW outlets?

Those options work out to be $46,690 (for 3 door) before taxes, stealer delivery and on-roads!

A spider has 8 legs :P

U serious??? :eek:

Every day on the way to work I see a HEAP of Golf Mk 5's and even quite a few Mk 6's on St Kilda Rd. I'll see a few along Nepean HWY, but as soon as I hit St Kilda Rd it's like I've entered VW...

Maybe they were trying to do a remake of the VW Terrorist ad that's floating around on youtube? :emo_baghead:

Online brokers will be the fastest. But you'll need to set up an account first.

Any reason for the hurry, got inside info that the price is gonna crash? :emo_baghead:
