My dealer says thats its too expensive for them to convert the petrol to a RHD for what is a small market here for petrols.
Anyway happy with the 2.0l diesel I drove. Gonna sell the Golf (  ) and Mini ( ) soon and get something faster.....and petrol......  |
Golf Plus with a 2.0 TSFI
It is really a wolf in sheeps clothing like you say
My GT is a 1.4 TSI 170cv with DSG and it is really fun to drive
My dad was also a diesel hater but after driving the X1 and E90 20d, he also became a diesel fan. Our market is even worse than yours, we only have the xDrive20d option for X1.
