Early christmas present

bigmac77 · Nov 24, 2015

My wife and I went to the VW dealership near us (Llandudno Junction) this morning and we had an interesting morning. In the showroom they had a lovely looking T6 Ocean and Beach, outside they had four T5's. We had a test drive in the T6 204ps DSG which was very nice, I thought the cab was very slick and the engine had lots of torque. Then we drove a T5 140ps DSG this too was very nice but the cab felt a bit dated after being in the T6. We had a tough decision but ultimately we were swayed by price and also that the extra power of the T6 was unnecessary for our requirements. And we came away having put down a deposit on a 15 plate 140 DSG Cali, it has been preregistered by the dealer but is basically a new vehicle. Can't wait to get our hands on it.

Nice. Good to keep an open mind and get what you need. Enjoy. DSG is brilliant.

Hi we did exactly the same and ended up with a 180bhp dsg se in Olympia blue
It had 12 miles on the clock and we love it!

Been overnight once and a couple of day trips and it's been fantastic!
