DSG. The infotainment system needs to be updated by the dealer though, keeps freezing.

Nice, is that black? Do you have issues cleaning it and easily visible marks/scratches etc

benpaul12

Black = dirty quickly. I will say that the paint finish isn't incredible and sometimes has swirl marks etc., but when clean, looks pretty damn good.

I think the best colour for the Mk7s is dark grey or white...

Does it have NZ Navigation? I assume it's a jap import, seeing the lack of euro plate holder and ACC/Bi-Xenons. Talk to the guys over at Eurosurgeon to get updated software.

^ It does now, it was all fixed by the dealer. They updated the software and gave us NZ maps too.

Yep, it's an import. The selection was an NZ one which had 18in wheels and reversing camera, or the Jap one (which was $3k cheaper) which has ACC, lane assist, euro tails, light package, bigger entertainment unit etc. much more kit.

Got mine lowered on H&R springs (30mm drop), Konig IND-T 18s and Michelin PS4 225/40s by the folks at Hyper - looks a heap better!!

There appears to be one mark from a stone chip or something, very small.

But yes, scratching these would be a painful experience.

Can you add more detail?
Are you saying the VW dealer did the firmware update on the infotainment system on your Japanese import and at the same time loaded NZ maps?
If so what was the cost and which dealership?

Bought this about a year ago, 2014 DSG, DCC etc. Totally standard.
Use this when I'm in Auckland so wanted something nice to drive. Never disappoints.
