Watwheels Supersonic September 25, 2013 Share September 25, 2013 VW auto gearbox in the past also got plenty of problems. When they re-introduce the iconic beetle in the late 90s they were plenty of problems with the car. I think a lot of local celebs bought the car, dunno Brian, Kim Ng and "suffered" a lot of issues with the car. Transmission, a/c, engine overheating & electrical issues. https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=99+vw+be...22&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=99+vw+be...22&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=99+vw+be...22&ie=UTF-8 https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=99+vw+be...22&ie=UTF-8 Now they introduce dsg also got so many issues. Some things just dun change. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcscot 5th Gear January 5, 2014 Share January 5, 2014 I am thinking of getting the VW Touran but am hesitant due to the multiple DSG problems. Do any MCF bros know if the reliability has been much better or resolved already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodooman Supersonic January 5, 2014 Share January 5, 2014 I am thinking of getting the VW Touran but am hesitant due to the multiple DSG problems. Do any MCF bros know if the reliability has been much better or resolved already? How long the latest fix will last is anyone's guess considering VW has denied the issue for years. Love, or rather infatuation, is often blind, for me why take the risk, there are so many sexy drives out there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy a Caddy and convert with backseat sofas. Ooops, now I think they brought in the auto van also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twich 3rd Gear January 6, 2014 Share January 6, 2014 I am thinking of getting the VW Touran but am hesitant due to the multiple DSG problems. Do any MCF bros know if the reliability has been much better or resolved already?I have driving my Picnic for the past 9 years. With regular maintenance, it is my family work horse. Every morning, I would just start the engine and go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcscot 5th Gear January 6, 2014 Share January 6, 2014 SIGH ... well the Touran seems like a fairly good deal considering the size and specs. Which other MPV will you consider in the same bracket? Wish? - shape has not changed for years and specs/interior quite dated but reliable. Anything else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcscot 5th Gear January 8, 2014 Share January 8, 2014 Odyssey is not in the same bracket ... a new Odyssey is $190K!!! A new VW Touran is approx $145K ... big difference for poor chap like me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linusloh Clutched January 11, 2014 Share January 11, 2014 Odyssey is not in the same bracket ... a new Odyssey is $190K!!! A new VW Touran is approx $145K ... big difference for poor chap like me! Citroen C4 Grand Picasso...new model launching soon...can check it out. Peugeot 5008 Renault Grand Scenic Forget abt Wish, the drive/comfort/stability/safety prob lose out to the Conti's, but reliability and cost of maintenance should be much better haha...

What is wrong with the Wish, it outsold the Citroen, Peugeot and Renault by a mile.... it is a good family car for city driving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
