Heard vw cc now fitte with the 1.8 turbo charged engine instead of the 2.0 due to saving on tax to be more price competitive

N
New golf tsi debuting soon will be fitted with turbo charged 1.6 140hp engine instead of the 1.4 twin charged 1.4 160hp engine... Due to high construction cost...

Lower power engine selection is disappointing ...

VW CC and Passat CC both different. Earlier was Passat CC 2.0L engine same as Audi 2.0T but tuned differently. Then VW introduced the VW CC which all this while has been a 1.8L engine turbocharged. I don't think it's for tax savings but for CO2 emission concerns. I maybe wrong.

Whatever it is, the VW CC is still very much drivable. Torquey enough to propel u forward and fun enough to drive and it looks good. The only discomfort is the rear headroom which is low. The normal Passat Sportline CBU, if u like, go check it out, same performance as the VW CC, direct from Wolfsburg. Lovely car to drive IMHO.

Just test drove the new mk7.

Didn't really notice the power drop, but wow the car is a big difference from the mk6. The quality, the ride, the handling.. top notch! Worthy winner of ECOTY

I wish the seats were wrapped up in leather tho rather than fabric and at least shoed with 17" rims la.

Chris u should get a VW and hope u did not get the Camry cos they did not equip with traction control, and important safety feature, especially for that Camry price.

Yes, the mk7 is an overall much better car to drive. You definitely do not feel the difference in power (despite being a whopping 20PS down), and the car car is still able to sprint up to 180km/h easily. I quite like the new interior, although I'm not pleased with the new steering wheel button layout. Wheels? Yeah... could be bigger. Expect 17s on the 'facelift' that will eventually arrive.

Btw, my album of the mk7 Golf TSI here.

It's that due to engine tuning or the newer better injection? Hence better torque?

Bigger rims surely package with gti

Polo tsi also 17" lol

I would say higher boost maybe paired with different ecu maps.

anyone test driven the mk7 yet? saw it already by the roadside at jln klang lama showroom, am thinking of getting it for the missus..

however my previous experience with my mk6 gti, when it comes to servicing / repair leaves much to be desired. However that was 2 years ago, perhaps vw msia is better now?

VWM should give us 10 year warranties as well

Anyway the article doesn't state that all vehicles are due for recall but it might give us an idea of the percentage of defects in the DSG gearbox

"Only a “few hundred” of DSG-fitted vehicles had faults that prompted driver feedback, according to a Bloomberg News interview with Harthmuth Hoffmann, a company spokesman, on May 31."

rofl few hundred out of 1mil. I find that hard to believe la. But it is the mechatronic that usually gives way, apparently some ppl are saying that the 2013 models come fitted with new mechas and clutch packs that rectify this problem already
