Ordered a White (only colour to have imho) 5dr with only option the DSG over a month ago. I've been the staunchiest suporter of the manual box forever but have to admit the avilability of 6gr, dual cluches, paddle shift & automatic mode up there with the smoothest of them made me turn over to the dark side. Makes me proud to read theat the current manager of the Veyron project pointed out the DSG gearbox (7gr) as the cars most amazing feature in the recent issue of EVO mag. Then got the call from Richard Scuttlebuck @ John Hughes Volkswagen in PErth West Aust that I will be getting mione in a fortnight, one of only 3 by the dealership and no more avai in Australia till Nov this year
PEople, is the car really as good as it's being made out to be? I havent even seen one in the flesh let alone test driven one. JUst had the feeling that it would be 'the ONE'!
Btw prices here are better than Europe but not the US. We get The GTi 5dr with most feature for around $45k aus.
Will be a regular on this site and thank you for the welcome everyone,,,,
