cos it is expensive and by right, 7sp dry DSG is suppose to be "maintenance free" aka no need to change transmission fluid. that's why is call a "dry" sump. very little DSG fluid is dip into the gb and also making the car lighter.

but... don't even need a calculator to count also can tell the 7sp DSG is causing so much more negativity towards the brand..

 

1-2 yrs I can understand.. but so many years liao they still die die hug to a technology that is not refined.. doesn't make sense leh!!

 

at least for myself, I find VW Jetta very much suits my needs apart from DSG issues. Design and feel is there.. 1.4T seems perfect for me..

 

but because of the DSG.. i would have to keep my hands off it for the uncertainty.. if only it had been more reliable..

seriously, buying a VW should go for the DSG models. this is what VW is famous for.

same as Audi. Buying a Audi, must go for their Quattro.

I agree it is a big pity, given the excellent interior fit n finish. If their reliability is like jap rides, sales would have topped for several yrs in a row, provided the pricing is the same.

 

That being said, I bet the VW SE will be yayapapaya like Toyota ones several yrs back.

Guess it makes sense, MB will have access to more potential clients who are unhappy about their current rides and may want to look for an alternative German car that these ex VW SE's have.

 

MB happy

SE happy

Clients happy

In the past not many VW on the road, classic one is the beetle. About 4-5 years ago, their marketing very strong and many ppl bought VW. Now with so many negative feedback think VW appearance on our road will be lesser and lesser.

Yup sadly it's true. If anyone wants to buy a preowned VW, get it from any other place than VW preowned division.

 

Really opposite from other AD preowned divisons, where buyers prefer to buy from, due to extended warranty by the AD. However, this just don't work for VW.

to me, they should close down the preowned dept to save the 2nd hand car owners more grief.
