Mk7 Golf - Australian Specifications and Prices (Base, Comfortline and Highline)

[applegen]

I don't think you can get the LED tail lights at all in this country. It'll be the only aftermarket thing I add to mine when I get it mid next year (hopefully)

it looks so good on the GTI. been toying with the idea of changing them aftermarket too.........that's when i get my car, whenever that will be

this seems a little worrying I seem, no 3door gti's hmmm

How is it worrying? They dropped it a few years ago, and none of us were expecting them to be back for the Mk7.

If you look at the competitors (125i, a250, Focus), none of them offer a 3 door in this market.

Surprised to see it brought down here. Looks nice but I don't think it deserves the R badge with only 103-110kW

Well, the badge does say "R-Line". But yeah, I agree, cheapens the R brand image somewhat.

Still, seems like pretty good value to me. Add this (and a stage 1 tune) to your 110TDI and you're not too far off a GTD.

and once again the "R-line" photos include bi-xenons - an optional extra...

Similar marketing to BMW and the M sport range ( as opposed to the M3, M5 etc)

Seems good value for what you get extra.

Man I like the look of this. Don't need GTI-level performance in the city, but I do appreciate a lot of the advanced features and sporty look.

All manufacturers do this. Nothing Special.

I knew Touareg R-Line was just the beginning

Expect others to come here to Polo, Passat, Tiguan etc.

The R-Line package has been officially released in Australia for the Golf in Highline spec

Is this for Australia? I have looked at news releases etc and talked to my dealer ( who claims that he is not aware of this ) and can't find any other confirmation.

Why is there only a $1000 difference in on road price between the auto and manual 90TSI?

Special drive away pricing to clear 90TSI and 110TDI stock? The Comfortline and Highline have reverted to full drive away pricing.

Yes, but why is there only a $1000 difference between auto and manual 90TSIs?
