Yep, and I enjoy it too. It's one of those rituals I do whenever I get a new car. Had my first wash and wax last weekend too. It's nice to get to know Madison. :grin:

Yup all 300 odd pages of the Car manual and what ever number of pages of the audio manual.

i'm wading my way through the manual - found out about windscreen wiper service mode and how to correctly strap up your pregnant misses to the chair, complete with saggy milk producing boobies

Goes in Tuesday is its first date with VW, for some work. Most likely the last day I will see it for a while. :cry:

oh yes - sat in the car for about 2-3 hours reading the manual and playing with the car. Picked it up at 18:30 also so was dark out as well lol

Mind you it carries hardly any surprises for me anymore.... :cool:

I found www.ownerwelcome.com (http://www.ownerwelcome.com) full of surprises. Like the wipers never resting on the same ledge twice in a row, hence why they twitch occasionally.

Can't quite believe you spend this sort of money on a car and miss out on the absolute pleasure of reading the manual(s)
once or twice. :huh:
You should all be made to read it before you are allowed to take delivery.
Blokes don't need or read DIY manuals or TV instructions - but a Golf GTI?? Shameful.

The manual is rubbish. Hard to follow, and the warning to keep americans happy everywere are a pain. Its a shambles imo.

Us bloley men would anyway never admit to reading boring things like that. Might read it when I am on the bog! :sick: :grin:
Rather do something else with my valuable free time like preening Wolfgang! :kiss:
Now where is that double-dating site for all purposes and tastes? :evil: :laugh:

I just love the smell and feel of a new manual and it's neat [in this case] leather folder, but I only scan read it, then look at it in more detail as, when and if I find things I'm not sure about. :cool:

i would agree with some of those points you made, but i am under the belief that controls and how to operate something should be intuitive or just familiar or made common sense so you don't necessarily have to read the instructions. it would be a very stupidly designed car if how to operate it required going through the *whole* manual.

Reminds me of this segment of Top Gear when they do a piece on old cars and the non-standardised controls. If conventional controls weren't on every car, I don't think motoring would be what it is today with all the number of cars we have and what we use them for going to work and everything else, and if it was there would be millions of more accidents. At least when we get in a GTI, it's familiar enough for all of us to drive and get it moving.

The manual is all foreign to me :grin: I just get in the driving seat and play with everthing until I know what it is and what it does :grin: much more fun than wading thru something that makes my dvd instruction manual look easy :laugh:

I have spent a total of 5 mins max 'reading' the manual, 4 of those was trying to find it as I had mislaid it!
....and at that time I was on the forum having a banter with you! :kiss:
Talk about multi-tasking, darling! :laugh:

As sad as it may sound I don't need to read the manual I just want to.
I've had a mk4 and mk 5 so most things are much the same.
Thing is with such a fantastic bit of kit as this I want to know every little thing about it.
Just imagine you don't read the manual and are driving around with your DRLs on when you can't stand them or lock your keys in the boot because of the auto locking system.
TV manual - unopened.
Blue ray player manual - unopened.
Golf GTI manual - read several times.
