Vratenza Supersonic July 13, 2017 Share July 13, 2017 Thanks! Thought they shifting focus in their lineup. OIC..... ok, good, got 1.5yrs to go to see if the 7.5 is any good. Is it likely the 7.5 is going to be killed off by the VES?

Soya Supersonic July 13, 2017 Share July 13, 2017 VW Singpore took the Golf GTi off their price list..... any idea why?Heard the Golf 7.5 arriving year end. It might finally get a 7-spd wet DSG (DQ380 I think). But whether the GTI makes it depends on VES Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdf4786k Twincharged July 17, 2017 Share July 17, 2017 Heard the Golf 7.5 arriving year end. It might finally get a 7-spd wet DSG (DQ380 I think). But whether the GTI makes it depends on VES if its just for bragging rights that "I own a Golf GTi " then wait to see if the new GTi comes with the performance pack. If you want a more competent yet more reasonably price Golf GTi, then a SEAT Cupra R with front differential, equipe with a Golf R 290BHP engine and sports exos , that make a better bet as its priced below a GTi with std non performance pack. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GTi and Golf R has arrived. But the invite is only send to those with deep pockets who buy 200K or more without batting and eyelid. The type that goes, I want " Lapiz blue and when can I collect..." type of buyer. Only bargaining would be, " I am paying by the infinite card with full payment ....."

The litmus test - how long does it take them to get a certain part in.. Well,VCS will be responsible for Seat's Parts,they all get from a VW distribution store in Jurong...VW,if parts no stock also need to order,the problem is the Service Advisor is SO BUSY[sometime already resigned & a new SA took over],he not possible to follow up your case...when the Parts came in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
