Go check out a first gen Mazda6, puddle lights have been around for at least a decade on just about anything.--------------------------

Yeah, my 03 RX-8 had them, but I'm sure Mazda call them Ground Illumniation Lights or something.Originally posted by hooba View Post
No way I'm tearing my car apart to retro-fit them though

We are buying the Golf R for brawn, not tizzy ****... Moving on...Comment

Sheesh! is that what they were for, I thought they lit up the interior like the wheel well lights or to let traffic coming up behind know your door was open! and here I had the car for 4 years (and the wife's 6 for 3 before that) and never once used it to look for a puddle before I stepped outOriginally posted by hooba View Post

I'm sure lots of cars do, I've never noticed them before nor do I see the point of some of these features.Originally posted by hooba View PostComment

LOL so there is finally a brochure?Originally posted by oshuyi View Post
Just a side note, what ECU does the R have? I'm curious if any of the flashing software packages can be used? Many makes have software available to reflash the ECU such as Evo's, Holden etc. I found this one as an example for the ME7 ECU for older Audis but the web is full of tools that allow ECU tunes via OBD port.Comment

Kind of glad I didn't win that competition.. They really are plugging those ugly winners everywhere... I wonder if that was on the terms and conditions...Originally posted by oshuyi View PostComment

As I mentioned in another thread about it, they really couldn't have found a bigger bunch of douche bags to win! Sounds like a dodgy comp, cos I don't recall seeing or hearing anything about it!Originally posted by ratedr View PostComment

is that all the update is on the site.
Its so hard not to think about the car every day.
Did anyone get the upgraded sound system? I didn't even get a chance to test the standard audio as I was loving the sound from the engine. Hoping its has sufficient bass for a standard system.Golf R 3dr DSG, White, ACC, MDI, RVC, Bluetooth, Leather, Sunroof, 19" black rimsComment

Yeah, that is one of the things I checked when i test drove it.Originally posted by NiNo_LoCo View Post
had my own mp3 cd which I had with me.
Played the usual testing songs
ACDC, Bon Jovi, ZZ Top, and some Slava Grigoryan for some classical comparison.
It played a little better than my system in my MPS which I rate pretty high for a standard system.
Had it as loud as I could stand it with little distortion, bass tones were clearly audible and the back windscreem was thumping in time nicely.
As a result I then decided I didn't require the Dynaudio upgrade as it is so frackin expensive.
if need be I might throw an aftermarket amp and subwoofer in , but that would be about it.
Now, I know alot of you guys have more ecclectic musical tastes and require a more sophisticated Hi Fidelity experience, but for me i can live pretty easily with the sounds that were coming out of the test car.Golf R MY 11.5 United Gray, 3 door, DSG, ACC, Free MDI, Bluetooth

lol... Dynaudio is an awesome value upgrade. It's one of those factory options, like the 19" wheels, which it isn't possible to perform cheaper AFTER you've received the car!Comment
