That comparison vid is a good one- there's also an individual R and S3 vid by the same guys. Awesome dsg farts on both. Clearly twins under a slightly different skin. Will be very interested to finally see the R pricing (and std inclusions) so I can choose (win-win in any event).
On the Audi forums it's also been discovered that there is a Launch Control counter which permanently disables the feature after the count reaches 200. It would be reasonable to assume the same exists for VW.
If you've got DSG + Launch Control + VCDS you can check the counter yourself via 02 Transmission - Advanced Measuring Blocks.
Lapiz Blue 5dr DSG spotted near my place in Cammeray in Sydney. I pulled over and took a million iPhone photos which I'll upload when I'm back at a computer. It is stunning, it's the first bit of doubt I've had about my GTI order.
It had 19s, driver assist, leather and Discover Nav. No idea if this is standard or optional equipment in Australian spec. They must be embargoed with reviews, there's no doubt someone's given it a good thrashing on something other than a frozen Swedish lake now.
