Mk7 Golf - Australian Specifications and Prices (Base, Comfortline and Highline)

[GeckoZAO]

lol seems like I've brought many people together to discuss tsi and tdi.
I've test drove both, and I just couldnt tell much difference...diesel a little bit more noisy when idle, and thats about it.
and i think the fuel consumption for tsi/tdi is very similar or almost identical, not like previous MK6.
Again, im only doing short trips, probably no more than 10000km each year, that why i chose tsi over tdi:

- The 110TDI is fitted with a DPF, which favours trips where the vehicle can get up to (and stay at) nominal operating temperatures.

Anyone else noticed that getting a 90TSI DSG costs $1000 more than the manual, but the same thing costs $2500 on the 90TSI Comfortline?

Yes, someone has been posting about that a lot recently somewhere around here and asking us why instead of a dealership...

Easy, there's a lot of DSG 90TSI's around and they want to clear them out. Its called a sale, the 90TSI doesnt have some magically cheaper DSG in it.

As gracious and logical as ever.

This forum is supposed to be a source of reliable information.

Why would you call a VW dealership if you wanted to be certain you would get that?

[Ryan_R]

When it comes to pricing I would expect the dealer to be the source of reliable information and the forums to be a source of speculation.

honestly i wont bother to ask dealership about either technical stuff, sales know less than i do about mk7 golf, dunno how VWA trained them, and imo they wont know much about pricing strategies of VWA either, or probably they wont bother to tell you...

It's something more than pricing information, Ryan_R. We know the price, we're wondering why there is an apparent pricing anomaly and most dealer staff are unlikely to know the answer to that question.

Any extended warranty pricing mentioned yet? Now that the drivetrain warranty is back to 3 yrs

Wonder if the Mazda 3 will put pressure on golf pricing?
