Agreed, they need to make it available in more of their cars. I think it’s a better alternative to the auto slushbox, and it’s got a great manual mode, what’s not to like?

Actually, the famous 1.8L & 2.0L TFSI turbos are build in Hungary. And those proved to be pretty good engines. Of course, TFSI is not a cheap set up so no matter where you will screw them together technology will not be cheap. If VW could ever certify FSI 4 cylinder mill, that would be an advantage.

I agree with the first comment — VW’s thinking process is, “how can source the worst possible transmission, and then stick it on the wrong end of the car”?

Mexico has so many advantages, cheap labor and legacy costs, zero enviro regs and it close proximity for shipping. Its too bad we cant convince Mexico to sell Baja to China.

All VW needs to do is search the planet for its lowest quality engine manufacturer and voila! – they will live up to their name yet again!
