been lurking here quite a bit but very very happy to be joining the vw family!

nice work, congrats ... do you have any additions planned?

you should be, haha

just my 2c+inflation, and it's a bit of a polarising topic, but I'd definitely recommend using a sprintbooster to make the most of your new toy.

i'm exercising restraint dammit!

i had a sprintbooster on my old car (bmw coupe) and it was great while i was the only person using it, however as soon as my wife started driving the car the throttle lost its edge. not sure if the R tries to learn the driver's style too?

Amen to that, brother. It's on the long stretch to Fremantle now. We'll have to organise a bit of a drive when our cars arrive.

I must have just got lucky with mine. I ordered mid June and will receive early November. That's with pretty much all the boxes ticked bar the motorsport seats and reverse camera (the latter of which I'm sort of regretting spending the extra on and the former I couldn't possible justify the 5k asking price)

I'm not too sure where to ask this but my sister and her husband are looking at buying a GTI under the current sale and they have found a MY11 with the specs they want (manual, grey, 18's, MDI, Bluetooth and xenons) and they wanted to know if the MY11 had the daytime running lights. I know for a fact the MY12 has them but I wasn't sure about the MY11. Thanks in advance

absolutely, I'm always up for a drive .. we do the hills once a month if you're keen: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...nth-61825.html

good to know that my Octavia is in excellent company ; ) After several months I'm still addicted to the R, they're insane.

As in the daytime LED's or just DRL's in general? All cars from factory you can enable the DRL's so the lights are on. As for the LED's all MY10.5 (from 2010 june) onwards got it so the MY11 should have it.

Hi mate,
It should have LED's. Just confirm with the dealer.
