That's what I find works best to it just pulls like a train, I try and explain it to my partner but give up and just let her do what she wants haha. Has anyone else ever had the window down and noticed at about 2500 - 2600 rpm the pssssh sound of the turbos switching over???

Yep....drive with the window down most of the time.

Does not sound as good as my Touareg....much more of a whistle in the veedub.

Hahaha that's awesome only noticed by chance having the window down around town as I'm usually windows up air con on, but yeah now I drive with the windows down a bit more!! When I drive other cars I'll keep any ear out for it, what engine is your VW.

Mine apparently arrives on the dock at Port Kembla this weekend, so maybe...just maybe I might have it by next weekend.

Don't count on it. From personal experience, it can take up to 3 weeks for pre-delivery, in which time the dealer did not know where it was...

At least yours made it into the country before they lost it. Mine got lost before it left England.

Somehow though I think our dealer was a little unique in that respect.

Ha ha - My subaru I drive daily has more power and torque at the wheels than the Disco has at the flywheel - certainly wasn't bought as a performance car but has plenty for around town, towing and country driving

around $7k off full retail - WA Stamp duty is different to other states so on road is probably not the best comparison
