Spoke to dealer in sydney yesterday and he told me a few details about the new golf, inaddtion to the above detailed news

- Mk 7.5 golf non performance models hatches and wagons are now avaliable to order on the NADCOM system.
- dealers have been allocated their lauch batch of golfs for july

- for Alltrack premium, the optional sports pack can be ordered without the sunroof, for the same price.

note on highlines: the led headlights are not directional/dynamic, only performance and alltracks specified get dynamic headlights

Remember this is a guess to guide.

deals will be there to be had on current runout mk7 golfs , and these new ones will have much less negotiation for the first 6 months i think

Just came across this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H5uFdpvJ2M

Seems to be a hands-on review of the new model.

Sounds like the current model with a jb1 fitted. Nice... bigger screen looks awesome. Not sure about the dash but need to see one in the flesh. No doubt it will be great too...

I'm sure there will be room for negotiation. They're not going to sell everything at RRP

I could not wait put down a holding deposit on a 135kw diesel alltrack in red

ticked all options boxes so 50k,ish on road i am thinking?

expensive yes but worth it in my opinion which is all that matters as i am buying for myself

Anybody comment on extended 2 year vw factory warranty?

Is it worth the 1750 they will try to sting me for it for the peace of mind?

Will try to crunch on price but am not expecting a huge discount this early in model cycle

Am chuffed with the infotainment package tho esp like the drivers screen and dynaudio sound system,plan was to take it straight in to have speakers upgraded after purchase but now no longer required

Exactly the same configuration and colour, even same boxes I'll be ticking, in a couple of weeks. Have an appointment with local VW bloke in two weeks time.

How long before delivery?

The question you have to answer is do you think something worth 1750+ will go wrong when the car is 4-6 years old? Statistically it's more likely in the first 3 years or after 7 years. VW extended warranty is more or less just a contract with an insurer such as Allianz. If something goes wrong and you claim the dealer (and you) are at the mercy of the insurer person to accept.

Thanks for the replys guys

x-rated i have a delivery date of 1st 2 weeks in august... so still a while away will be so wound up when it eventually arrives
wife and daughter are already sick of me talking about it

With the warranty i have asked and the warranty is vw just like the 1st 3 years factory backed if you buy the option before it rolls out of the showroom
No 3rd party involved i asked the question pointedly and more than once its def a vw issue factory warranty for extra 2 years no 3rd party

Now the issue is is it worth 1750 for my piece of mind lol thats a question i am still pondering
as my current 8 year old vw diesel golf is still going strong with no issues...... hmmm

Re: Golf GTI 7.5

Does anyone know if Volkswagen Australia is bringing in a base spec GTI Manual with option of tricky mechanical plate LSD in the mark 7.5 range?

[Kachingg]

Hey Whitejames

As far as i have been able to find out the tricky lsd only comes on the performance version of the gti
so i think you can get a manual with it but you have to pay for model upgrade to performance version

Vw upselling again..
