Sux we also miss out on head up display! Why does VW Aus remove so many features?! Guess they will introduce them when they do a LCI in about 3 yrs

Hey guys, just joined up to say hey hey.

I'm picking up my 206 wagon, white, with the sunroof in about 2 weeks...

So pumped!

Welcome to the club Mate!

Hey guys im looking at a Passat 206 sedan, got a price of a $61,500 with sunroof and metalic paint. This is just the corp. pricing discount. What are people negotiating on these driveaway? Is around $57k achievable?

Also I cannot believe this car with all the bells and whistles does not come with DAB+ radio!!! Not happy about that! Its available overseas but not here! Even the Dynoaudio sound system!! Not happy

I was worried about the lack of DAB and the premium sound system originally... since then, I've discovered two things...

1. With Apple CarPlay... you don't need DAB, just the TuneIn Radio App. You get better service for longer and it uses little data (not an issue for me as I have 20GB per month!). You can also listen to stations you can't receive normally!

2. The 206TSI seems to have better quality speakers than some of the lower models (not sure how!). You'll see my earlier post about my concerns of the audio quality. Now I have the car... and played around with the settings, it's all good! I'm VERY happy. I'll post my EQ settings if you want.

will try for under $60k... see how i go.. not in a rush for the car so can wait!

Whats the avg fuel usage like? How many kms to a tank people getting?

Under $60K with corporate discount should be do-able with a sedan, roof and paint.

Avg. fuel... depends.

First tank... 500kms. I had to see how she goes!

This tank is over 600kms with a 1/4 to go.

Thanks for the updates Chopper.

Yep i guess Tune In radio would be a work around!

Yes pls post your EQ settings if you can cheers!

After MUCH playing around... I've found this is optimal for the sound (I like it heavy with Bass!).

EDIT - upside down EVERY time. Just save it and rotate it.

Righto. All going well, I pick mine up tomorrow. What are you all doing for run in?

I pretty much drove my Tiguan as I normally would every day and the car is still strong with no oil burn @ 127k kms. The engine is kinda similar so I figured I would do the same, but I'm also keen to hear what other people do.

Hey guys! Just picked up mine this afternoon! Indium Grey Wagon with sunroof!

Came from a Scirocco then Tiguan 155 Rline and now the 206!

I pretty much drove it like I stole it. If it breaks... that's what warranties are for!

Thanks Chopper! Once more people has taken delivery, we should organise a morning drive somewhere!

[Mr_206]

Congrats on the pickup! She look very nice! Can i ask what you paid drive away?

Is it true there is 3 silvers to chose from? A light one, the one you chose and one in between?

[wm7503]

I paid $62,800 for mine. as per the colour, I think it is only the silver and the grey that I have?

[Wynnston]

Pickup is supposed to be today but thanks to good ole Western Australia, it doesn't exist in the Department of Transport database, so they can't register it. I'd taken the day off to do some errands and pickup the car. Cross fingers that something happens today. I really don't want to bust another day off for nothing.

Hi Chopper,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Wife decided on Tiguan and not the Passat 206 TSI R-Line. See signature below.

Great idea! I've found they're often hard to organise... but if we can pull it off, cool!

I'm looking forward to seeing the Night Blue! Welcome to the club!

There are two light silver colours... Reflex Silver and Tungsten Silver. My old GTI was Reflex... so I went Tungsten this time. It's more of a pewter colour.

I had a similar problem in NSW. It was so new, I couldn't get insurance. Had to get a broker to arrange it because it wasn't on the RTA System. Then... had to wait for rego... it near drove me nuts!

Bro... if ordered the 206, you'd have it by now. You could have a divorce quicker than that Tiguan...

[Delewin]

Actually Chopper,

I can speak from bitter experience. A Divorce will take longer than the delivery of the Tiguan.

Be happy for me that we also chose the Tungsten Silver.

Enjoy your 206.
