Yeah... the only people who complain about the R's turning circle are the boys on 19" rims. They're wider than any other Golf rim and I think VW have gone a bit conservative in ensuring that it won't scrape the inside of the wheel well or something. The R's turning circle isn't significantly worse than any other small/medium car I've owned or used... otherwise I wouldn't be able to get out of the tight spot at work where cars like Ford F6E's etc need to do 3 point turns. lolLast edited by Corey_R; 11-08-2011, 07:28 PM.Comment

I have 19s and noticed the turning circle was a bit larger than expected, I am used to it now though. What is this limiter you speak of? I have been thinking of changing to 18" rims (I only got 19s for the black headlights anyway), is there something that needs setting to change this limiter?Comment

Ummm, yeh I've got to put my hand up and admit it's the only small negative I have running 19's. Being RB more than compensates the issue though.Originally posted by Corey_R View PostLol... well, according to RB Golf R owners with 19" wheels, it does

who cares about turning circles or 3 point turns..... Handbrake turns are much tighter and more spectacular..

Another observation.. if you get the flu and you don't go out for 3 days you suffer withdrawal symptoms, also if your wife drive s you about in an NA vehicle you twitch cause there is no fknwhooosh on gear change

Yeh with you on that one. Normally being a passenger in my wifes NA car I would only ghost brake but now I find myself ghost accelerating as well. Very tiring being a passenger these days. lolOriginally posted by SilvrFoxX View PostGolf R, Rising Blue, 5 Door, DSG and some extra fruit.

I'm very surprised how quick I have become accustomed to having steering column stalks on different sides. I had a problem with this yesterday however when I needed my wifes car to get some crap. She now has the cleanest windows in history. Just glad she wasn't in the car with me because she would have paid out on me big time. lol
I still fing dsg manual gear changes counter intuitive. Thankfully only once I've grabbed first instead of third. But hey maybe I'm just gettin old and it's harder to teach an old dog new tricks. lolGolf R, Rising Blue, 5 Door, DSG and some extra fruit.
