VW's lineup for Manila

[albanocr]

Found these pleasant surprises (hidden features) in the Jetta, that are not common in other cars:

.................

6. All four windows have roll full up or full down function from driver controls or from remote key.
....

How do you do this using the remote control???

I hope they bring in the long wheelbase version. Looking at other markets the maximum number of seats for the passenger versions are 8 to 9 at most.

Hoping for the LWB version too para may kalaban na ang starex and grandia. But I'm sure this will cost 2.5M+

Bro that is the Crafter, more like a minibus actually. Here are the dimensions of the T6 Caravelle/Transporter:

LWB


SWB


Considering the Crafter's size being much larger than even Toyota's Hiace LXV, I'd say 2.5M/3M is well worth the money. There are just so many places you can take these behemoths to though. Wheelbase and height will limit entry to most buildings.

The limited numbers of Golf R that theyre bringing in is super tempting. The first 7 were all sold out.

VW Philippines brings in vehicles from Germany ...

Some Jetta and Golf variants are manufactured in Mexico. The Polo is from Malaysia. Most others are from Germany.

Oh yeah, forgot about the Polo ... I though the Golf was from Germany ...

The Golf GTi and Passat 2.0T are both from Germany. They share the same engine and DSG tranny.

I'm pretty impressed with the build quality of the VW cars from Mexico. The Jetta 1.6L TDI DSG is manufactured in Mexico and so with the Jetta/Golf 1.4T models.

The Jetta and the new-to-the-Philippines Golf GLS station wagon are from Mexico.

The Polo hatch and sedan are CBU from India, not Malaysia.

Like the Golf GTI, the older 1.4 TSI hatchbacks (launched here in early 2016) are from Germany (This explains its high regular price of P1.59M to P1.739M)

Theoretically, if the Mexican-made P1.35M Golf GLS wagon were from Germany instead, it would have cost more than the P1.739M 1.4 TSI Highline hatchback.

How much is the Golf R?

Found the info. P2.8m. Very good price.

[EQAddict]

Excellent price for that car. Almost As fast as a mustang in the quarter mile but much muxh much better driveability due to AWD. And more practical too.

Mas mahal pa ung regular Golf hatch kesa sa wagon

Cheaper to source from Mexico.
Hopefully future Golf hatchback models would also be sourced from Mexico to keep prices low and competitive.

Hi ag4. How's vw's dsg? Does it have the reliability issue of the ford dct? Does is drive like ford dct on low speeds? Ive driven an audi q7 and found it similar in feel to ford dct on low speeds. Are audi dct and vw dsg one and the same?

Hi ag4. How's vw's dsg? Does it have the reliability issue of the ford dct?

Wet clutch DCTs (clutches bathed in oil for cooling) used by diesel powered VWs and Fords(seen here in the previous gen Focus TDCI) are known to have less issues than their dry clutch counterparts.
Between the dry clutch DCTs, VW seems to have the advantage, though Ford has rolled out several updates (software & hardware) in recent years.

Wet clutch Dual-Clutch Transmissions are usually used on higher torque diesel engine-variants.

PS: The current Ford Focus 1.5 EcoBoost sold here uses a 6-speed torque converter automatic.

Ive driven an audi q7 and found it similar in feel to ford dct on low speeds. Are audi dct and vw dsg one and the same?

If I recall correctly, the old Q7 has a 6-speed Tiptronic torque converter automatic while the new one uses an 8-speed Tiptronic torque converter automatic.

Audis and VWs with the same engine and the same engine layout/ platform will most likely have the same transmissions with different names (S-Tronic vs DSG)
I'm just not sure if the software is altered between the two.
