The problem with black (or the advantage with black) is that it hides almost all the 'details' which make the car different from an ordninary Golf.

My MkIV was black for exactly that reason - although come to think of it all MkIV's look the same anyway!

I was just going to say how badly I miss blue needles...  :grin:

Guess its just down to personal taste in the end... but do find the red a little more difficult to see than the blue. Quite sure thats why they changed the gti dials to white (r32 like) and ditched the red overkill from the mk5.

I have to say that 'boring' white is far easier to read than the fancy colours they've been experimenting with over the past few years. It also looks 'tidier' somehow, not so flash.. a bit like cars used to be in the 1970s :smiley:

And with proper 4WD, the Mk5 tough as boots engine, I forgot to pre-order today, my dog ran off.

It seems perhaps the 4WD is not so 'proper' after all:

From VW Vortex:

The new Golf R utilizes a newer version of the Haldex all-wheel-drive system that does not require slip to engage AWD. Rather the new system is pre-primed and looks at throttle position and torque being delivered to determine how much clutch-pack locking to initiate. What this means is if the car is floored from a standing start, the electronics automatically assume that maximum torque is required and pre-engages the AWD system to maximize grip for the launch. When the car is normally driving down the highway in a situation where AWD isn't necessary, the system disengages the AWD clutch pack to reduce frictional losses and improve economy. Overall the new system is far more responsive and progressive in its behavior.
