New to the forum and new to the brand...

I'll be picking up my first Volkswagen this Friday, a [B]brand new[/B] Passat R36 sedan.

EXCITING!

Colour: Blue
Options: Sunroof & Sat Nav

Will get the windows tinted ASAP.

Got a drive away price of $70k which I thought was pretty good - especially for Canberra.

Modifications: ZERO! I really can't see how this car will need any... Suspension, exhaust, gearbox, performance are all AWESOME!!!

I've traditionally been a Holden man. Since November 2006, I've owned three VEs - a V6 Calais sedan, V8 Clubsport R8 and V8 Calais V Sportwagaon. Before those I had a V6 VX Commodore and before that a V6 VT Commodore. I'm loving the idea of the Passat R36 V6 that performs almost as good as a V8. But moreso looking forward to a car that seems to be overall a much better package than anything I've driven in the past. Also looking forward to being an active forum member, learning as much as I can about the VW brand and enjoying my new ride!

So, HI EVERYONE!

Cheers!

How many others on here are from the Canberra region?

Welcome
Can't wait to see some pics of the you new car

I still haven't taken any photos (and won't until tint gets done) but here's a couple that were taken today by someone else...



Picked it up Friday afternoon at 4:30pm and took it for an *ahem* Sunday drive at MDTC (http://www.mdtc.com.au) last Sunday.





These are when I was giving people the R36 experience, needless to say there were a lot of people VERY impressed. This was a day put on by the ACT HSV Club, of which I am a member. They could pull away on the straight but I caught and passed them in the twisties...

SUCH A BLOODY FANTASTIC CAR!!!
