Takes the Tig from being an adequate off-road machine and great tow vehicle into being a quick tall hatchback.

Cheers

....and maybe it will make the Tig even better in what it is.

Hey Derek, I thought that I was the biggest pessimist in southern hemisphere.

In all seriousness the off-road model should be diesel, much better for the purpose. Manual would do the job I guess BUT at the moment we can't buy a manual in NZ AND I suspect that the advent of the DSG will see the eventual demise of the manual as well ??

Incidentally, for most weekend off-roaders an auto is MUCH preferred as you can't stall it !!!

Comparing the German 7 speed DSG details with the current 6 speed model for the 125Kw I am seeing a pretty significant improvement on acceleration and fuel use. Does this seem right?

0-100 9.2 8.1 -> 1.1 sec faster

L/100c 9.9 8.6 -> 1.3 ltr per 100 less
L/100u 13.5 11.8
L/100eu 7.7 6.7

Improved fuel economy is good news especially for TSI engine where in city traffic the fuel consumption suffers the most, 1.7L/100 improvement is great.
