I have just secured a factory push car this weekend, pick it up next week. It’s 5 doors & wanted 3, no options but need a car now & was very surprised that I could bag one. Didn’t want leather, I like the Jacky tartan, gone for white rather than red or black!

I personly would want black leather seats, not because I like to sit on the hide of a dead animal, but because that most of my friends would be more impressed to slide into a leather seat rather than a Scottish kelt, unless they are of course Scottish.

It’s easy to criticize price, but when the original is reincarnated into a modern car, as it is here, then price should be irrelevant to the genuine hot hatach enthusiast.

Hmm so your wallets full of the pink mans dollars, bet your townhousehouse is full of lovely shiny things that you “just had to buy!!!”, explains the pickiness, meowwwwwww!!! you VW drivers get a bit catty, I think you should have a nice relaxing multi coloured beverage with lots umbrellas hanging out and some of those pills that relax your coit.

Yeah, but the Scirocco GT24 cars are purpose built for the track. A roll cage increases stiffnes, race-spec suspension helps traction massively and, most importantly, they run full racing slicks – so it’s a bit disingenuous to use the racing Sciroccos as an example of what FWD traction would be like on a GTI with a stage 1 reflash.

Volskwagen released some R-Line stuff (as distinct from the Golf R) for their model range, including the Golf, at the Frankfurt show. Not sure if it will ever be offered in Australia, though. I’d say it’s unlikely.

With BMW offering M sport packs, Audi with S-line packs, Merc and Lexus with ‘sport’ value packs, hope it won’t be too far off the horizon for VW. The more consumers ask for it, the more VW will consider it. Theres gotta be someone from VW or an affiliated agency reading these comments…

I was in Gosford today and the VW dealer has a black one with Sat Nav. He offered me a test drive but I had to decline due to lack of time. Hopefully heading back there on the weekend to test it out.

Agree, the Renault will be the better track/performance car but I think the Golf is a better daily…..which does not make it the king though!

You must have run out of puff to be nitpicking on typo’s!
You Euro boys need a ride in a FJ20T 1200 ute!
