Guys, get the base 90TSI it's clearly the pick of the range, many dealers are selling them for 23k driveway...

Ordered a new White TDi today, 18 inch "rotary" wheels with Bridgestone RE002 tyres. Expecting delivery next Tuesday. Under 38k, fourth VW in as many years so I think I was looked after ? Traded 118tsi with sport pack, loved that twin charge motor ( not the 7 speed DSG though )

Is it DSG or manual?

Manual, but with a shiny coat of paint

Yeah, we have the start-stop on our touareg, and it doesn't always switch off - there's a bunch of things it checks before doing so - temperature inside and out, engine temp, battery charge level, etc..

Have yet to see that, dealers are asking for at least $24,390.

Best I've seen in Melbourne is what I said above! Head down to Victoria!

Ordered a 103-TSI today, decided not to go with the bi-xenon lights due to the long wait time (sept). Got driver assistance though. Tungsten Silver colour (seem to work much better with the interior colours). Picked it up for under 34k. Getting it in a few weeks.

I don't know why some of you guys are complaining about the gloss black... If your worried about smudging then your obviously very pedantic about getting any dirt on the paint! God forbid you drive it on a dusty road you pansy's!

ps - drove the TDI aswell, the extra torque was great to feel - however the car seemed very boggy compared to the TSI. Didn't rate it. Unless your gonna do huge kms then I don't really see the point paying the extra for something that's not that crash hot.
