Some insurance companies don't care whether you have it or not (NRMA for example), but other insurance companies do care. In fact, some care so much that they will no longer insure you. I would recommend that you did run it by your insurance company, because I could imagine nothing worse than having an accident and the repairs or write-off payment being denied due to "undocumented aftermarket ECU discovered during investigation".
I've never heard of this happening, but then I've heard of insurance companies denying payouts due to the installation of aftermarket car stereos which weren't documented on the policy!
Another Golf R review I found. 3.5/5 overall rating are you kidding??
Volkswagen Golf R
Looks familiar tho. Is it a rehash of an old article from somewhere else? Doesn't make sense I mean 3.5/5 for safety?? Cmon...

Ive had the stage I done and the lag is still there, not as prevalent, but definately still there... There is a big difference as others have mentioned between D and S modes in the dsg. Starting to use manual mode a bit more as I find S doesnt change until 7k rpm when going harder, I like to shorter shift through the gears a bit quicker.. Awesome car so far... luvvn it.

The review is actually REALLY POSITIVE, so some people have already called out the rating in the comments section of the article.
The ratings are the same as in the GTI vs R article, for which there was also much critism. It's as if they've accidently put themselves in a corner, and are now just being stubborn.
Yeah thats what so stupid, the article is a glowing report on the R yet the score doesn't match. That other GTI vs R article they give the R 3.5/5 for safety while the GTI gets 4.5/5. Ridiculous when the R has awd and the GTI is only fwd. Then for price,practicality and presentation the R is also 3.5/5 vs 4.5/5 for the GTI. The R is alot less than the old R32 used to be and in comparison to an Audi S3 is a bargain so should at least get a 4/5 in that area you would think. Also they gave the R 4.5/5 for behind the wheel but in the latest article its 4/5. I mean why even bother writing a review like that when in the end you are going to give out nonsense scores that in no way reflect what you have written in your assessment?
