Driving, Driving, Driving......

but then realising your headlights have come on cause you've been driving too fast  :evil:

What speed do they come on at?

At 85Mph+ for a few secs, and then off when you drop to 50ish for a while... (when in auto mode) me thinks...

Love the feel you get from the car and the handling - real contrast to the 'numb' drive of my previous A3. 

Seconded - I just changed from an A3 and it's the best motoring choice i've made to date.  The A3 was luxurious, and the slight difference in cabin quality is noticable, but just a short drive shows how much more my GTi makes me smile.

Absolutely and utterly love my ED30....period :evil:

It's the Mary Poppins of the motoring world :smiley:

The one thing for extra special mention is the way that VW always play down the "official" performance figures :evil:

I was thinking more of official = 0-62 in 6.6 for the DSG and I managed 0-60 in 5.66 :evil:
Eventually I will go on a "dyno day" and see what figures come out in the wash...so to speak!
It would be nice to see what difference you get from standard to one with a ram air and Milltek system and then by adding the Twintercooler and then after a chip as well, but that would all add extra cost and would need to be done on the same dyno each time and for accurate data at the same time for getting the same conditions regarding environmental and mileage on the car :nerd:

The whole package is pretty much spot on, I only wish that the 18" wheels were standard as it would have saved me some money!!! It is about appearance and stance, the 18's seem to look more aggresive,  imho of course!

like the rear windscreen wiper wiping when you put it in reverse when its raining

First experienced this on a 1989 Ford Granada Ghia (although no rain sensor). I thought the 2.0 litre was so quick when my boss let me drive it  - good job somethings change!
