Just had a sit in one

Post by Kev »

I went to one of the Oxford dealers this morning and sat in their black DSG (leather, panoramic roof and 71 miles on the clock).

It was in a slightly dingy corner outside. The salesman didn't seem too forthcoming with much information. Told me there was basically a manual or DSG and that was about it. Stood outside while I sat inside and didn't go through any of the controls or spec or anything. Couldn't look in the boot as it was parked right up to a wall. I think he was preoccupied with getting the new reg cars out the door today, being Sept 1st, so I'm going to wait a few days before I go to the other dealer we have here.

Very nice from the outside.
Inside is quite a bit more enclosed than my puma but to be fair it was half under a porch and shadowed by a Tiguan. There's more space but the glass area is pretty narrow and the bottom edge of the window is quite high. The dash is hugely high in comparison. I guess that's 10 years crash protection progress for you :)

Need to drive it really. He said I could have a run out on friday but I'm busy then so I might sort something out next week.

As I won't be ready to buy until April he said I would still need to order it before mid october really as he said there's already a 4 month waiting list and it will probably grow to 6. Forgot to ask how much the deposit was.

Just remembered something else.

He said the full brochures should be out in the next 2 weeks.
They should be on the VW site for download too.
