Those wheels and ride height? Stunning 

[mkviken]

unladen weight 1351kg

so its not going to be lighter than the mk6 GTI. a standard mk6 weighs 1318kg


all that PR talk of it being around 100kg lighter than the mk6.

theyre full of sh!t


and the 'mechanical' LSD isn't a proper one but their haldex system which works off the ESP.

Hmm, might just hang on and order a MK7 after all then, in the pictures they show are they the 18-inch ‘Austin’ alloys standard in the UK?

No they are 19's IIRC, see the VWVortex Video from Paris on youtube.

Ahh ok thanks Dave, tbh not too keen on the ones pictured, might be in a minority there...

All we need now is for the govt to drop VAT to 15% and bring back the scrappage scheme, then the thing might look half decent value...

[Poached]

Can you remove stop/start with software?

Looks ok, still need to see more 'real pictures'...

Its only if you take it our of gear with engine running, I think?

Never much do that anyway.

I think there's the option to switch it off on the MFD computer. It has been in a few VWs I've sat in recently.
