Considering an Alltrack

[nyc863]

it uses a dsg6 so isn't part of the dsg7 fuss. I have had three dsg6 boxes on three cars in a row, no issues.

whether you can fit three seats across depends a lot on the seat types. It isn't as wide as a commodore sport wagon or skoda superb I imagine.

economy is good for long trips but poor for short trips. Fuelly says I am using about 9-10 l/100km for our 80% urban short trip use patterns. It has a big tank though. if you use it all in the country or all for longer trips it would do 6/100 average.

dealers should be negotiable eofy, I would imagine you can get free onroads (stamp duty, rego, gst) at least, and more, you just have to not listen to anything they say and wait for the special phone call.
