Just sent email off to VWAUS , I had a look at one a few weeks ago at dealer , looked good , wanting wagon next , salesman to busy
to deal with me so I left , when I rang back to ask about the diesel option the receptionist indicated he thought it also came in diesel
and said he would get sales guy to call me back which didn't happen , now the online aussie test drives indicate its only available in ULP
so does anyone know if it comes in diesel. if not not interested.
stats has the current ulp version at 6.7L/100 and real testing at 8L/100 so Im not going to go from current diesel jetta 4.5L/100 (mostly
freeway) to double.

Unfortunately no diesel for Australia at this stage, I believe there is a diesel variant of the Golf Alltrack for Europe though.

Hi Neil, best VAG alternative is the Skoda Octavia Scout Diesel (AWD), can get it in manual or DSG and pretty good value (aim for 10-12% discount of RRP).

Both too big & too small!

Maybe you could acquaint yourself with the "reply with quote" button on the bottom right hand side of each post?

I'm looking around for a new/ near new vehicle with some cargo space. I want something nice to drive, well fitted out and it will have to be an auto (as much as I hate autos.)

The Golf Alltrack ticks a lot of the requirements, but long term I'm not so sure about it being a wise purchase? I see quite a few DSG type issues mentioned on here- even though a lot of people say that's no longer an issue with them. I'd be looking at keeping it long term-> possibly 5-10 years, so don't want something that is going to be an expensive head ache.

I notice the servicing costs are also at the higher end of the scale (eg. every 4 years one service over $1000.) There also seem to be a lot of posts regarding electrical issues on here?

I ended up going with a Ford Kuga Titanium. More money, but a better option for me. Thanks everyone for their help.

PS: I'm taking an extended OEM warranty out on it, just in case.
