MK6 Golf Cabrio / Cabriolet / Convertible

[phaeton]

Volkswagen Driver (UK) published they're review of the new Golf Cabrio, they loved it no scuttle detected at all in the body best Cabrio ever they stated.

Possibly why VW are toying with GTI and R versions.

Aaron if they at Melbourne show I'll grab as much info I can for you on release etc.

They are available for order in the UK now, which I believe opened in July some time:

Order books are now open, with the first customer deliveries due to take place at the start of September. For more information please visit your Retailer.

Since we are due for release on the 19th of November, pricing details and pre-orders should be starting damn soon. So has anyone seen any details on these yet?

In the UK they have the 77TSI and the 118TSI along side the 77TDI Bluemotion diesel, manual in everything except the 118 with a DSK option there.

I believe so - it looked dark blue rather than purple in the flesh. Apologies for the lousy photo - I had hands full and only one hand to hold the phone.
