Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

I thought the sales guy at Austral VW was quite shoddy. Pretty uninformed about the car etc and generally seemed really impatient.

The 5" sat nag looked really small in all that space on the console and seemed a bit unresponsive.

The Merc sales person down the road was much more familiar with what Merc was offering and was genuinely much nicer to deal with. The A45 AMG looked bloody incredible. And didn't need any new options - though you'd still have to wait 6 months for the car.

It's now more like 10-12 months.

The sat nav is 5.8" not 5".

So it's larger than the RNS510? Like I said, it just looked small in the big expanse of plastic around it.

I thought rns510 was 5.8" too?

**DoggieHowser** · 12-12-2013, 11:59 AM

I didn't really take it out to measure

it was just an overall impression

RCD 510 : Volkswagen UK

Hmmm VW says the RCD510 is 6.5"?

No mention of the RNS510 though.

Discover Navigation : Volkswagen UK

Discover is 5.8" though.

At least the sat nav is nicely integrated and not just glued to the center of the dash in the A250.

The RCD510, RNS510 are the same size each at 6.5inch and from what i know the disco nav is 5.8. Thats not too bad but I just wish the screen didn't have such a low resolution, going from the RNS510 to the discover nav is a big step back imho.

Check out the Discover Pro in the Skoda Octavia Elegance, it's massive, crisp and really really fast. The GTI should have it, and I'm hoping the Octavia RS gets it (it will get it as an option at least)
