Golf R Observations and Questions

[dave_r]

I usually just tilt the sunroof to ventilate for a while and it's livable... (without resorting to A/C)

Another win for the sunroof

(Prodigy, a puddle light is either a light under the door or the side mirror, that faces down, and illuminates the ground outside the car so that you don't get out and step into a puddle.. or other undesirable things ).

LOL you're ****ting me a puddle light? Now I've heard it all!

Yeah. They're not really a new feature. Been around for at least a decade on various higher end cars. I guess they're another one of these convenience features that are slowly trickling down. I figure since they already have electronics in the mirrors, it probably ads about $1 to the overall cost of the car

[DDTW]

Yeah I've seen websites/videos that teach you how to install them. I reckon they look awesome in the dark when you unlock your car!

Currently the 3 door DSG R is $181,300 Singapore Dollars, which is about $140,000 Australian Dollars. Due to this, they often have added inclusions to help justify their prices over the much cheaper "local" cars.

Wow! For that price, I think they need to include another engine in the boot!

Many thanks for your email.

With regards your questions the system we have designed is to be installed with the OE downpipe and catalyst assembly or the Milltek Sport downpipe and catalyst assembly, we would not be able to confirm fitment onto any other aftermarket downpipes.

The system comes in 2 versions, resonated (this meets the standards to receive TUV/EC approval) or non-resonated (gives approx 4DB increase over stock).

The system will be available in stock W/C 22/11/10.

Go check out a first gen Mazda6, puddle lights have been around for at least a decade on just about anything.

Yeah, my 03 RX-8 had them, but I'm sure Mazda call them Ground Illumniation Lights or something.

No way I'm tearing my car apart to retro-fit them though

We are buying the Golf R for brawn, not tizzy ****... Moving on...

Sheesh! is that what they were for, I thought they lit up the interior like the wheel well lights or to let traffic coming up behind know your door was open! and here I had the car for 4 years (and the wife's 6 for 3 before that) and never once used it to look for a puddle before I stepped out

I'm sure lots of cars do, I've never noticed them before nor do I see the point of some of these features.
