Shown in April at the New York Show is another Sportwagen concept.. all I can say is yum.

Thanks all for the feedback!

I make phone calls often from my car, I notice no issues with sound quality, and the people on the other end of the line say it sounds like I have the phone up to my ear, not tinny like a speakerphone, so no complaints on that front.

I do find it bizarre however that my 2007 Commodore Omega ($38k) had voice controlled bluetooth as standard yet my 2014 Golf GTI ($46k) does not have voice control even as an option??

What about control on the MFD? Is phonebook access only available via the Discover Nav display now?

Phone access is a big thing for me, as are the interior seats (this is probably the most important) followed by the Discover Nav. I'm not really going to get a good feel for what the new highline leather seats are like without a few hours in the car at least, which I won't get on a test drive. Frustrating!

I agree that the Golf 7 Wagon looks leaps and bounds better than the 6, especially with the xenons and LED DRLs!

That really is all the car I will ever need.

These Golf wagons are pretty big. I've been looking at Passat wagons (just bought one) and only realised the one I was looking over was a Golf when I sat in it and noticed the throttle wasn't hinged to the floor...and the dash was different. Boot is same volume as the Passat but I don't think they are as wide in the rear seat. DSG only as well so would have to be the wife's car if I got one.

Will it be available in manual though?

Would have prefered an AWD octavia RS wagon - the back seat of the golf is too small. But as a second car, it'd be a hoot!

Yes I'd buy it at the drop of hat if it came in manual.

They're bringing the golf r hatch out in a manual in Oz soon aren't they? If so I can't see why they wouldn't also bring the wagon out in a manual.

Lets face it the Golf R Wagon will be DSG and hopefully Skoda will get an option to make a Octavia RS AWD Wagon other than the Scout ....... dreaming!

Our dealer has a manual demo just arrived this week. I'm not sure if anyone on here has one yet, I think they might. Mine is either still on a boat or in country somewhere.

Word is we won't even get the wagon never mind in manual.
