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

[pologti18t]

Who's noticed the glaring errors in the new MK.7 brochure... Absolutely shocking... The 90TSI apparently comes with a 6 speed DSG or a 7 Speed DSG and the seat trims are from the MK.6...

The specs looked ok to me.

Saw some in the flesh today at the local dealer. I didn't get a chance for a good look, but I did talk to a couple of the tech who had just drive in in one of the 90TSI units who said it goes pretty well for what it is.

Personally I'm looking forward to the GTI with Panoramic sunroof... might have to trade in the Cab on one of those to get some extra power!

If you've got any questions on the car at all, don't hesitate to ask!

Do the Oz spec Golfs get the false floor in the boot also?

Yup, they sure do! All of them.

Look very closely on the power-train specs at the end as well as the seat trims... They're from the MK6. Some person was putting the brochure together and had no interest in what they were doing, completely dispassionate and they probably couldn't care less if it was a brochure for a sewing machine or a car... Real sad VW Australia...

[MkVIGTI]

Yup, they sure do!

Thanks Golf7! What about Keyless Start? Also I noticed in the reviews that they didn't mention the cynlinder deactivation tech in the 103TSI. Does that mean we don't get them?

I was astounded by that too... No ACT here in Australia. Anke Koeckler (head of VWA) said that she didn't want the system as it could cause quite a few problems with our poor quality fuel... No keyless start either, that's reserved for the GTI

I see it... page 40 under Weights. Meant to reference 6sp Man, of course. Not exactly glaring though. Not until you pointed it out anyway.

Feeling a bit flat about all of this. No ACT, no ACC, no xenons, no driver assistance package, no DAB+, no detail on the sat nav, no mention of both front seats being height adjustable - all of which I'm interested in. was hoping to pull the trigger as soon as i had driven a highline. Some are coming, but... What's VWs history like, are some of the things not available now likely to make it in later updates, or are they reserved for the GTI?

Its just the start of production, relax everything will arrive in due course... The xenons are coming, the driver assistance package too, the 5.8 inch with sat nav is standard and all models except the base one have height adjustment on the two front seats...

Yep, still a nice cake, but not quite ready yet, and some of the icing isn't available.

It always happens like that... For now let's rejoice in the 90TSI's brilliance and its astonishing $21,490 price tag...

I'm going to take the 90TSI Manual, (the base model) for a long test drive through the Yarra Ranges in a couple of days. And with that want to know what you guys would like to have covered, have a read of my old reviews and let me know what I ought to focus on, what I need to improve, and above all else I'd love to accept any special requests for the drive. A list of dot points will be fine. I'm so excited to share as much information as possible as well as my personal opinions with you guys about this outstanding car.

So there we go, I'm taking your "to do" list for me.

Good pickup. I noticed the brown leather was not in the brochure.

I am disappointed the electric seats are still not an option! That can't be right considering all the other technology on offer????

[Golf7]

The errors are just errors but why oh why does VW Australia always pick that Corn Silk Beige stuff??? We don't want a Camry, but a sharp german vehicle! The brown leather is something sublime in the Mk.7.
