Come on guys and gals lets get 'em up there don't be shy pics included, will post some of my family truckster on the weekend.
Model
103kw TDI Wagon in Candy White October 06 Build, Jan 07 Compliance, have done approx 7400kms, purchased May 07 through Rex Gorell Geelong
Options
Black Leather and Sunroof
Likes
Fuel Economy (best avg 4.9 on a run down to Geelong)
DSG Box is brilliant esp quality of shifts and able to have fun with manual mode, although wish I had buttons on the wheel like the GTI.
Standard Features, ie front and rear parking sensors, auto dipping rear view mirror, heated mirrors, luggage net, 12v socket in the rear, 8 airbags, rain sensing wipers etc, my BIL with his Subaru Outback (which cost more) is very envious)
Dislikes
Rain Sensing Wipers can be a bit slow (or sometimes too eager) to turn on
Engine sounds like a tractor at idle
DSG can be a bit grabby in slow manouvering with auto hold on.
Slight hesitation with DSG box on take off
Seat belt buckles in the rear very close to the seat base which makes the bub seat hard to put in (ie get the belt tight when locked)
Rear of the car gets very dirty easily
Issues
Protective strips on LHS front and rear doors were black when delivered not chrome as on the other side, rectified by dealer after a short wait for parts, can't see how they missed this at the factory and dealer.
Engine oil required topping up at approx 7200km
Any other Comments??
Overall love it, everyone who has seen it is very impressed with the features for the price and the fuel economy, general performance and ride etc. Hope I get many years of happy motoring from it.

and my dealer having dropped his pants on the car will not budge a $1 on the tow bar so I'm chasing Hayman Reece direct ATM.
