New Mk7 GOLF

[Blueteam]

OK enough about this GTI shtuff,

What about the Golf?

Will it be running the 1.8t and if so will it need to run premium?

That would suck big poo.

But nothing on the US versions released yet. Most likely golf wont have the 2.5 anymore.

No idea what engines are available in the US, over here the Golf has the following for now - I'm sure VW will throw in a few more over the lifetime of this model:

1.2 TSI Bluemotion (85hp)
1.4 TSI Bluemotion (140hp)

1.6 TDI Bluemotion (105hp)
2.0 TDI Bluemotion (150hp)

The 2.5 will be discontinued and replaced with the 1.8T from what I've read. And it's a good thing.

The 2.5 is a mediocre engine. Yes it is reliable, but that's probably the only good thing it's good at. VW doesn't even offer it in Europe. The 1.8T will bring same amount of power (or maybe more? idk) and drink way less gas than the big ass 2.5 we have at the moment.

Boohoo if we have to put Premium in it. Atleast we won't be putting shitty gas in our VWs anymore

I wonder if they will detune the 1.8t to use regular 87... I've never seen a turbo run 87.. but there must be pressure to do so being a base model.

I personally like the 2.5 engine myself, i'm getting 5.1-5.5 liters per hundred on the hwy and that's pretty damn fine with me.

How is that a gas hog? Then again my last vehicle was this.. 18mpg highway..

 

[BusinessAsUsual]

Well, the 2.5 is not exactly a gas hog compared to those mofos, but it's certainly not the most economical car out there. 5 cylinder 2.5 liter is a pretty large engine.

I do no hate my 2.5, far from that. But I find it is nothing out of the extraordinary, and I would like to have a smaller, more economical, turbo engine. But I couldn't afford the GTI so...

rumor is still out on if the GOLF/GTI's will get the 7speed DSG as well.... which i'm hoping is a YES

7spd DSG + GTD = wheee + mpg!

 

[Blueteam]

ya that 7 speed dsg is a dry clutch system i believe.. sweeet.

this info was amazing

You get a average of 5.5L/100km with your 2.5?!

Show me how you do it, because that's TDI territory.
