Bear in mind that the auto-dipping mirror only works if you have optioned Park Assist. If you don't have Park Assist, you need to dip the mirror manually whenever you want to see the curb.

Actually, i'm pretty sure it's a standard feature in the R, as it comes stock with park sensors front and rear.
If you mean the self parking Park Assist option, then this is not correct either, as mine dips automatically without this option.

You can't get Park Assist with the R so it is a little confusing

Oh, good point AdamD, us Golf R owners sometimes forget that point!

Yes, on anything below the Golf R, you need the Park Assist option. I know this is the Golf R thread, but GTI_Adidas asked the question and he only has a GTI!

Fixed for the sake of peace

Yep, sorry guys, should have clarified that my response was specifically to GTI_Adidas. The R gets the self-dipping mirror standard.

Hi All,

Im extremely new to the forums. Just thought id ask the question which is burning in my mind. For those that ordered the car with 18" wheels (and had it delivered), do you wish you had now gone the 19s?

Ive ordered a pretty basic R because for the little bit extra, it seemed worthwhile getting the R. My Specs are 5DR, DSG, Candy White, MDI, BT. After corp discount i ended up getting it for $51600 on the road which seemed like a good deal at the time and Im now only a month away from getting it.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the 18s v 19s.
