I must admit, it has a very good motor and extremely fuel efficient.

So what do you use when you don't have low range?
I think they're permanent 4x4 or push button 4x4.

The 6 speed manuals do have a low range. It's the 8 speed auto that does not have a low range. They do have a torque converted that shits itself in about 7000 kms unless they have fixed it. Saw one broken down at Dalhousie springs in 2013. Had just failed after completing the Simpson trip and was towed in by an old 70 series petrol cruiser. Owner said this was the second converter to go on almost a new truck.
When I got back home I googled the problem and there was not much on it. Six months later I googled again and Ausamerok forum had many examples of them failing very early. Possibly the ones used to 4WD. Seems that the gearbox simulates low range by slipping the torque converter and that's why they overheat. Have not checked lately to see if VW has a fix. It all sounded like the ZD30 Handgrenade issue with owners in disbelief and other users blaming the owners for the problems etc.
