    But its much more fun just hitting buttons and trying to figure it out

    I actually read the manual for 1 thing yesterday. Launch control. In the book it states you bring the rpm up to 3250! Im not sure if there is a rev limiter enabled with launch control? Havent tried it yet.

      All you do is plant your foot... it will hold the correct revs.. or at least it should.
      I doubt that I will be using it other than to try it out at some stage... that rubber is going to be expensive to replace

Scroll across to your fuel consumption using the MFD buttons on the steering wheel (right side of steering wheel) and then hold the reset button down for a few seconds. It will reset to --/L 100km.

        Same for resetting odometer etc.
        Thanks mate..

          Got a quote the other day for 255/30/r19 for the new rims. Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 for $795 each! Will be looking at the toyos as well.

            Maybe look at Continentals as well, they get some good reports.

            Also have a read of this thread on yet another Scirocco site.. LOL

                You should try Tire Rack in the USA... Search for Tires by Size

                      Your kidding me... right!!!



                      You would need to know the weight and speed class to ensure you select the correct tyres... but that is pretty simple.

                          Ive thought about it using tire rack.

                          Will see how the import of the rims go before making a decision on where to get the tyres. Ideally im after the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2's which arent available on the tire rack website. However, the Continental Contact 5's are on there.

                            I just read the CarSales review and I have to say that the Golf R boys are not going to be happy.....

                            This snippet shows why...

                            Better yet, Volkswagen was kind enough to let us drive the Golf R back-to-back with the Scirocco R. The verdict? Scirocco wins, no contest.

                            It was faster in a straight line, maintained higher mid-corner speeds and decelerated with more resolve, much of which can be put down to its 125kg lighter kerb weight.

                            The Golf R felt lethargic in comparison, unable to power out of corners with the same intensity (splitting torque between four instead of two wheels can do that). While the Scirocco would sometimes spin its inside wheel exiting a tight corner, the Golf never lost traction, but that's about the only area where the Golf outperformed Scirocco. Ultimately, the Golf wasn't as rewarding or as fun to drive flat-knacker; which is quite something when you think about it.

                                didn't realise Rocco's boot space is better than that of a Golf R until now
