Regarding blind spot monitor on the alltrack,
I think its because the radar sensor is mounted low on the chasis for the golf, an with the alltrack blackcladding it would have to transmit an recieve through multiple plastic layers, instead of just 1 layer of plastic such as the wagon. I assume its difficult to calibrate because of this issue.
on my B7 alltrack the radar sensor is mounted above the cladding.
at the same time i havent removed a golf alltrack bumper before, im basing this theory of the workshop manuals for the golf which show the radar low down on the chasis
Agree with most of that but curious why you think the Tig has the better petrol? In Highline config, I think the Tig has the better petrol/diesel combination but, in Comfortline onfig, the Alltrack has the better diesel but it's wash on the petrol.
For me, I was looking at a 110tdi Comfortline Tig with all the options until I saw that there was a 135tdi Alltrack. I wanted something that would take my photography gear and would go up the snow for a few weeks each year. In the comparison this is what I worked out:
Lose:
BSM, RTA and area view camera
Powered tailgate
Storage eg dashtop bin, adjustable boot floor
A little more passenger space
tri-zone climate
higher riding view
Gain
More powerful engine with slightly better fuel efficiency.
Better wheel/tyre combo
Better infotainment (bigger, gesture control, dynaudio sound)
Better lighting (LED Vs halogen)
Better dynamics (in theory)
Save a few $$
I really liked the dash/console in the Tiggy (those hideaway cupholders are pretty cool) but the only thing I really missed on the list is the BSM/RTA and I was really disappointed that it only offers halogen headlights at that price point. In the end I gained some good stuff with much less of an outlay.
Gratz on ordering the alltrack i think you and i will be happy with our choice
getting mine on 27th then off to detailers for 3 days so will have some 1st impressions to post next week as i will not have it back till sunday night
Thanks Kachingg. I think it's a good choice and I'm looking forward to getting mine around this time next month. Look forward to your thoughts after you get yours.
I know we have led taillights and I noticed they look very similar to the R wagon. I'm just wondering if the R wagon has the dynamic rear indicators and, if the taillights are the same, can the Alltrack's be programmed for dynamic indicators or is it a bit more complex than that?
Thanks for that...but 3:01am?? You must be excited about picking up the car today! :lmfao:
