Golf Alltrack

[sillyboy]

Unfortunately no diesel for Australia at this stage, I believe there is a diesel variant of the Golf Alltrack for Europe though.

The Diesel Golf all track is called Skoda Scout.

Hi Neil, best VAG alternative is the Skoda Octavia Scout Diesel (AWD), can get it in manual or DSG and pretty good value (aim for 10-12% discount of RRP).

Both too big & too small!

Maybe you could acquaint yourself with the "reply with quote" button on the bottom right hand side of each post?

I'm looking around for a new/ near new vehicle with some cargo space. I want something nice to drive, well fitted out and it will have to be an auto (as much as I hate autos.)

The Golf Alltrack ticks a lot of the requirements, but long term I'm not so sure about it being a wise purchase? I see quite a few DSG type issues mentioned on here- even though a lot of people say that's no longer an issue with them. I'd be looking at keeping it long term-> possibly 5-10 years, so don't want something that is going to be an expensive head ache.

I notice the servicing costs are also at the higher end of the scale (eg. every 4 years one service over $1000.) There also seem to be a lot of posts regarding electrical issues on here?

I ended up going with a Ford Kuga Titanium. More money, but a better option for me. Thanks everyone for their help.

PS: I'm taking an extended OEM warranty out on it, just in case.

Hi looking at getting an Alltrack but would love some extra HP, would get a Type R but you cant get it with a towbar. Has anybody had any experience with tuning? My problem is partially because all my previous cars have had huge horsepower and I am finding everything I drive feels slow. I am getting this next car under Instructions from a higher power as my wife does not want our daughter being taught to drive in my current car. Thanks in advance.

Look in the tuning area - there should be plenty of options.

You realise that while you can teach your daughter on a modded car, once she starts driving the car has to be unmodified (more or less). I'm teaching my daughter to drive at the moment and when she finally gets her licence I'll have to take the tune off my car for her to be legal.

Personally, i think they should learn in the biggest, most powerful car possible so they know what happens when you give it some squirt.

My current car has over 280kW at the wheels and one must tread very gently or all hell breaks loose (its lots of fun) my son drove it on his L's but I can see where she is coming from. My son now has to make do with his Mazda 6 hatch (stock).

There seems to be a lot on the GTi but not the 1.8L 132TSI engine in the tuning area.

I've got the original EA888 1.8L BZB block. A generic hand controller Bluefin tune brings it from 118kw to mid-130s and around 310-320nm.

For the Gen3 EA888 you probably need install at the workshop. I'd think mid-150s and around 350-370Nm?

Give DNA tuning a call - they might have something

I realise the alltrack reverse camera doesn't show the dynamic steering line.
That's weird. Aren't they the same other golf?
Misses been driving my car and got used to it. She really want those lines.

Why not a golf R wagon?
With a tune, it's faster than lots of cars on the road.

Cant have a towbar on the R Wagon, otherwise I would. That was my first choice, same with the Audi S3 seems all the fun cars cant have towbars.
