You can set it up to unlock with one keypress. Mine doesn't lock itself so I couldn't possibly lock the keys in it.

And I would say the GTI has a 'male' personality to it, that's just my own experience. Having said that if you compare the GTI with the R, the GTI would surely be the girly one. So I guess my GTI has to be a girl. Damn.... I've only just realised I bought a girly car...  :cry: and if I were to pick a name for mine, it would surely be "Six-Penalty-Points".

Hilarious!
Six-Penalty-Points it is! :smiley:

yes i had a tiny look at the convenience menu to see all the different features, but the amount of options in it is to me just out of this world, it's like trying to figure out how to use a new mobile phone! i'll have to go through the instruction manual for a bit longer - i'm normally pretty anal about these little things but lately i just wanna drive the car and not be too concerned about how the locks work!

I read the instruction manual to learn how to turn the heated seat off as my backside was being cooked for 4 miles on full heat and how to get the nearside parking mirror working!
Must read some more this weekend! :smiley:

Tell me about it. I had many strange glances as I was wriggling away like there was no tomorrow! :grin: Had to put Wolfgang in 'sport' mode to get to the manual which was at home! Now it is with Wolfgang all the time!
Not funny at the time I can tell you.
