Keeping with the theme of showing off new VWs here is mine:
It's also DSG, leather, s/r, 18s, 5dr. Suspension and summer tires are coming.

It's really good. Even in D mode it shifts smoothly and quickly. In S mode it holds the revs higher, rev matches on D/S.
The only complaint is once in a while in D mode at low speeds and part throttle it gets confused with what gear it thinks you're going to next. Like if you're going 5-10kmh it will start off in 2nd, then go back to 1st then up to 2nd.

Thanks Everyone.
I got my Fast about 8 weeks after I bought the car. It just showed up in the mail and I never had to call anyone about it.
PS both seats are the same height, the driver headrest is up higher. This car has the most headroom of any car I've ever had :nut:
danno
03-23-2008, 03:32 PM
hmmm that's wierd i didn't get one for 6 months or so, so i made the call to see what was up.
i agree so much head room in the car, and the seats are the best i've ever sat in.
i'm jealous cause you got the dual climatic controls.

Dual climate is standard on the GTI.

I love those cars but can SOMEONE please tell me why there is so much ghey black plastic on the rear bumper? Did the designers take a coffee break during the rear mock up? UGLY.
Body color except the exhaust surround FTW.

Wow nice car. I dont know if there is a better bang for your buck new car for 30K.
r3cc0s
03-24-2008, 09:28 AM
this is a debatable point
Mazdaspeed 3... and the GTI does push into WRX territory
however... Fifth Gear seem to prefer the GTI to both...
With APR introducing a K04 turbo upgrade... full kit
You can make the car have full Euro Spec S3 power, if not even more :D
only thing is...
Biggest selling point for me would be
Can I find an LSD for this thing? (like the 30th Anneversiary)
Will the DSG hold up to an APR chip?

VW has always used black plastic there because that's where cars get beat up by rock chips and such.
Easy fix with the Votex kit.

Rock chips on the REAR BUMPER?? What do VW's create some sort of scorpion tail vortex I didn't know about?? LMAO.
I had a VW and never heard of that. Sounds like pure BS to me.
Regardless, yeah either that kit or a black one is the win. I love the way they look...aggressive stance when dumped.
