Wll there be a Golf GTI wagon????

[Tobes_WIR35]

Yes agreed, but I'm only talking about my own personal preferences here.

All I'm saying is a Passat Highline V6 has comparable spec level, price and performance as a fully optioned up GTI. Both options appeal to me.

The Skoda Octavia RS wagon doesn't do it for me unfortunately, but yes it is a good car and good value.

Yes, me too. If I was in the market for a stealthy performance wagon I'd definitely look at a Passat V6 (and the Skoda too).

Passat is 220kw? Skoda still stuck at 191kw?

[Tobes_WIR35]

I think the Skoda is 147kW

Yep. And it's not all about power... if it were, we'd all be driving V8 Commodores. *shudders*

[Lemonskin]

Agree that it would be too close in price to a Passat wagon. I do with the Passat looked a little meaner though. Great sleeper I guess.

Has anyone on here got a Golf wagon and done it up to look/go like a GTI?

The 2L turbo probably is but I was talking about the comparable V6s in the Passat/Superb. Passat got a power boost with the new model.

How about something like this?





Just dump a 155TSI Tig and you're done.

yikes that looks awesome! Is that yours? Didn't know the Tig would drop so low

Nah - I've still got stock springs (and no bags). I may look at dropping it a bit but my wife doesn't like station wagons, however SUV's are apparently OK ?

This ones from over on VWVortex: VWVortex.com - Tiguan

The Tig looks pretty wild, but I don't think I'd ever buy an SUV for the purposes of lowering it. I'd either buy an SUV to take off-road, or buy a sedan/wagon/hatch. Even though it's lowered, the actual body itself is still quite tall, which doesn't look in proportion, and the handling characteristics would be all kinds of messed up...

I would consider a Tiguan 155TSI that's dressed up to look like a smaller R50 Touareg though. That would be a neat vehicle.

It does look a little upright. My first thought was " it looks like a Chrysler PT Cruiser"

[Tobes_WIR35]

" it looks like a Chrysler PT Cruiser"

It's not that bad!!! Lol

[tigger73]

OK so maybe if you Golf boys don't like the bagged Tig then perhaps you would like this Jetta wagon if they brought it out in a 147 or maybe a GTD...

[Lemonskin]

I like that better

They should axe the Golf wagon and go with a Jetta wagon. Makes more sense IMO...
