unladen weight 1351kg :sick:

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?

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...

Can you remove stop/start with software?

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

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.
