Ake109 6th Gear May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 I thought the current a6 use multitronic. Ie cvt. Other than the quattro version. Actually a6 is by far the most common older audi on the road. I see all 3 generations on a frequent basis. Compared to the a4 or a3. I assumed they were more reliable cos quite a few of them are on cvt. Possible. Plus it is really a very comfortable and nice looking car. I like the interior very much too. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showster Twincharged May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 8k can own A6? Possible. Every day eat rice just add plain soup or savoury sauce only. No dependants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Turbocharged May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 From what i heard, just passed the 3 yrs mark. Again, this my fren's fren. I just listen only... OIC. I think if just cross 3rd yr mark, can still cham siong provided he didn't mod the car. my ride 1 yr past the warranty period but they waived the repair cost but mine is just a minor repair. nothing about the engine or gb.

Maroon5 5th Gear May 15, 2015 Share May 15, 2015 what does your willingness to buy a Jetta have to do with the potentially deadly consequence of GB breaking down and stalling your car on the road, especially on expressways? they are 2 separate and independent issues. when/how did i whack you to death? i only expressed my honest views that what you deem as "jus inconveniences" can be much much more serious. have you never heard/read about deaths due to vehicles ramming stationary cars? nah: http://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore-news/victims-injuries-leave-judge-shaken-prosecution-calls-maximum-jail-time even judge see the injuries photos oso stunned. but if you say, car stalled on road is perfectly safe (coz maybe you can somehow generate a force-field around it and you+passengers), then i really nothing more to say. i thk if u wanna touch on the final destination type scenarios, a Honda takata airbag can explode in your face or a Toyota accelerator can send u plunging down a mscp. anyw im not jetta fanboy, the only vw that turns me is the GTI. but its jus like I say, at this price point its worth a consider because if it were equipped with a hassle free gb, it will be selling at higher price. so some give and take there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabian Turbocharged May 15, 2015 Share May 15, 2015 There's no smoke without fire. Whether VW really have resolved the 7 speed DSG problem, only they themselves know. The salesman here need to make a living so of course they will say it's resolved. As long as you know what you are getting into then go ahead to get it. For me, when I buy a new car I would expect it to serve me well and be reliable for the first 3 years at least and not thinking at the back of my head when the gearbox will break down. Only 3??? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knoobie Supercharged May 15, 2015 Share May 15, 2015 come to think of it, I think in other countries their Jetta does comes with 6sp wet DSG.. what are the chances of getting those in SG? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjchsg 2nd Gear May 15, 2015 Share May 15, 2015 So what income can own a6 since 8k cannot? As a simple rule of thumb, to balance between expense and saving for future, one should buy a car that is equal or less than 1 year of salary. So, if someone make 8k per month, it is around 104k a year, buy Altis lah, if one make $200k a year, then, no problem to buy A6. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
