Golf R
« on: July 19, 2012, 09:01:55 am »
Hi , I have a golf R on order and have just been told it has gone back from Aug 6 build to Sept 3 , slipped back 4 weeks  just great !.  it has got me thinking it has given me time to add a Sunroof and Active Cassie Control is it worth it ? another £1430 ,  help me decide I am so indecisive, I ticked every other option on the list .

TIA

Get your revised order in immediately before it's too late!

Sunroof yes. ACC not for me, especially if it always defaults back to Comfort 'Normal' settings every time you switch off the ignition - I drove a S4 Audi which did that on map settings - PITA!

I had ACC on a Scirocco and I honestly found the differences between settings too subtle. I'd try and drive something with it before committing.

Personally I'd get ACC and the sunroof.   I found the settings were sufficiently different and I thought it defaulted back to normal which is supposed to match standard non acc set up.

....Thanks for pointing that out - 'Normal' is too comfy for my taste, hence me calling it 'Comfort'  :happy2:

I have corrected my earlier post accordingly.

The buckets are extremely comfortable, but with what they fetch on the stolen goods fenced on forums and ebay market, they do make the car a bit more of a target.

Is DAB an option? I think that's a great addition.

I had 19" on mine and found the ride a bit hard so would have liked the ACC had a Scirocco R which has it as STD and found myself using the Comfort mode most of the time (although I am getting near 50 now so do appreciate the extra comforts)

Not sue if it's changed now but DAB didn't used to be available if you speced Sat/Nav

If you have RVC, do you really need front/rear sensors?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
