Ssbcc 1st Gear April 28, 2013 Share April 28, 2013 I was considering the Jetta as a replacement for our family car, but down at the showroom, the CO expressed more interest in the Golf instead. Would appreciate feedback from the bros and sis driving the current Golf. In particular, Internet has a lot of negative reviews about the DSG gearbox. Does anyone driving the Mk 7 Golf have any issues so far? Thanks in advance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royho1979 Clutched April 28, 2013 Share April 28, 2013 ROFLOL... Already saw a few mk7 broke down by roadside. Really? I own a Mk 7 golf and I have not heard a single case of failure in VAGS forum. You saw A FEW Mk 7 golf that has broken down care to share more details? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTB 2nd Gear April 28, 2013 Share April 28, 2013 Your's still new.. We must make a wise decision on getting a reliable car instead of just the outlook like MK 7. With the new rule kicks in, you will need to bear with all the headaches for the next 10 yrs unless your pocket is deep enough to change car within 1 or 2 yrs time. My 2 cents.

Lilblackrabbit Neutral Newbie April 28, 2013 Share April 28, 2013 I'm wondering why VW didn't bring in the manual version. Most of the British reviews of the mk7 were done with a manual car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic April 28, 2013 Share April 28, 2013 Surprisingly, I saw the VW Golf (in DSG) is quite popular in Japan. Volvo and Jaguar is non existent there. Managed to see one Renault Megane Cabrio too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newer batch would hv resolved issues likr mk7? Question is... Why pay good money for some product that may fail u unexpectedly? I guess people will not learn until it hits them. Safety is of utmost importance to me. Thats why i ditched my VW for another make. You should check out the experience VAGSG guys had with VCS. Denial, accusation, etc just to get their butts out of responsibilities. :angry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
