2013 prices - up by 1%

[NickE]

As rumoured, prices for new Calis are up for 2013 (source:VW UK website), but maybe not by quite as much as expected i.e. just 1%. All models are BlueMotion now, so you are getting something for your money.

Interestingly the website does not include the changes but the downloadable brochure does.
Cruise control now standard on SE and slightly better economy so the tax on the 140 down by £20.
My Cali due any day and was on a ship just before Christmas so I've missed out but also missed out on the nearly £700 increase .

DAB now finally available as an option with the RNS510 although the premium for it now makes the unit even more extortionately priced, sometimes I wonder if VW actually want anybody to tick that box. But if you have money to burn you can spec digital TV with your RNS510+DAB too as well. And xenons have gone up by £100 :cry: .

Cruise control now standard on SE

Well spotted, I didn't see that. Good, for me at least that's £215 less! And, "Low-rolling-resistance tyres" ... hmmm. Sounds good, but is there a downside? Anybody know if they affect ride, wear or grip?

£700 wifi. Really. Surely this is just a 3 network mifi or the like for £50 .I am assuming you still pay a monthly subscription . Anyone know what this option really gives you?? . All the places I camp currently in the tent have really patchy 3G and all the places I want to go are far away from the major conurbations that support 3 and now 4G . So unless its something special its not an option I would ever tick.
