Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Hmmm. You're right. Specs are the same as the R so you're probably correct. So it's got the bigger turbo.

    I'll confess i don't own a VW, I joined up to learn more about r36s but then the 206 was announced......although if they're north of $70k then I think I'd best get back to R36s...[emoji17]

          I have a rule when ordering cars. I'll pay the list price for the car, the dealer can absorb the on road costs from their margin. It's never failed me yet.

            Are there any options or does the 206TSI come with everything? Dynamic Chassis Control, Sunroof etc.?

            Its available in sedan also?

            Is the chassis the A4 or extended Golf?

              I think we covered this earlier, but there are only two options - Pearlescent or metallic paint for $700 and the Pano roof for $2k.

              The rest you get straight out of the box. (For sake of interest, a 140TDI with all options runs to $60k driveaway, so essentially, a fully specc'd 206TSI at $72k (list price according to @wm503 a few post back) means you're paying $12k for that drivetrain). Although he did say he managed to drive a hard bargain and get his for a bit less.....

              I think the easiest way to view a 206TSI is as a fully optioned* Passat Highline with R-Line package (bodykit and interior) and a $12k Golf R drivetrain.


              *with paint and roof as your only boxes left to tick. I wish VW Australia would hurry up and get the configurator set up on the website. Same for the 162TSI Tiguan.

              One could argue that while it's a being suggested as the natural successor to the R36, in reality, it's not as bespoke as it's really just drawing from the existing VW parts bin where as the R36 had a unique bodykit, seats, engine.

                Correct!

                The car (as a wagon) is $59,990, roof $2,000, paint $700. I don't know how everyone else feels about on-road costs, but I refuse to pay them. Shop around, there's usually a dealer who's willing to do a deal. I wouldn't pay more than $62,700 for a fully loaded wagon, drive away.

                      It will be more expensive. So it may come down mostly to value for money...

                        They look very nice. A lot of tech.
                        Only shame is the T8 not making it here. But I'd imagine they'd be pretty exxy if they did.

                          It's not just a bit more expensive... it will be at least 50% more expensive! (More, if you spec like-for-like). Nice car though...

                            Yeah it'll be $80k + on the road.

                            Beautiful car but don't think the value for money will beat the VW.

                              Nice looking car but fairly different approach. That is a large family luxury hauler, as opposed to a sports wagon. (It's only an inch shorter than their largest car, an XC90 SUV)

                              The Volvo V60 Polestar is probably closer in both application and price to the 206TSI (and with much nicer brakes and wheels)

                                The V60 is a LOT smaller than a Passat wagon though...
