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

I can't see Skoda lasting long - it's not as if there's saturation marketing.

Skoda has been in Australia since 2007 and have sold over 10,000 cars here in that time. They've invested fairly heavily in advertising (the Tour Down Under being one such example). They have 39 dealerships across Australia. They're not going anywhere.

According to the welcome pack I just received for my Yeti, over 17,000 Skoda vehicles have been sold since 2007. Not a great number but hopefully enough for them to survive and grow in Australia.

Seems VW have just updated their website & included the Golf in the "Build your own" section...

Not sure if I missed this but the Driver Assistance Pack back in 2014 didn't have Blind Spot Monitors listed, but now it does... Price has also gone up to reflect but interesting to note I guess. Also I wonder what that will mean for cars built in 2015 with the pack spec'd. Would they get it or not?

I just bought a Highline (one of the first 2015 builds) with the DAP and apparently has the new blind spot and rear reverse emergency stop from being cut off leaving parking spots. It docked in South Africa tonight so in a few weeks I can tell you first hand!

Nice one, let us know!! Though I wonder since we ordered our cars in 2014 (when the option wasn't listed - and the price was lower) that they won't have it, even though it's built in 2015. Mine was built in Late Jan, and is on a boat which will get to Port Kembla around mid-March.

I made sure the codes in VW ordering system is showing DAP2 when I ordered the car in December, also made sure the contract reflects the DAP2 in detailed. And dealer confirmed both verbal and written that DAP2 with rear cross traffic alert n blind spot monitoring will be built in my car. Let's see what happens.

How did you manage that? The ordering system when I did it around the same time just said a generic 'Driver Assistance Pkg - Manual'

I have no idea. Dealer in Canberra showed me the VW ordering system screen that explain what each code means and code that was put into my car order is the DAP2. More than that I have no clue. 4 more weeks to see it.
