Volkswagen Golf Model Year MY11.5 Changes

[Corey_R]

Congrats on your new car stucam.

I merged your thread here as the MY11.5 changes are detailed within (and via the links that Maverick posted.

As for the "Coffee Break" function. Basically, if you're driving your car for a certain amount of time non-stop (say 2 hours), it'll play a chime sound and put a message on your MFI to say to take a break.

if the car suddenly made me a cup of cafe latte after two hours of driving, it would make it the most awesome car feature ever!

No such luck mate. Just Cappuccino & Short Black. It might just be VAS setting though for a Latte?

ROFL! Nah Dermot, we have to wait for the MY12 for the latte.

The sales dude mentioned that it had a new gear shift

This is actually the first that i've heard about a new Gear Shift...

... what are the differences? Does anyone have photos of the new one?

How does one identify MY11.5 from build dates ?

I'm almost 100% sure theres a lexus that can do that!

Oh and i must say i really like the change to the white negative colours on the climate control.
Classy touch IMO

I believe this is it, although the stitching may differ (this is a photo of one of the Geneva Rs):

thats the same shifter as in the new polo gti's as well.

[Fab_R]

I wonder if it can be retrofitted.....me likes

That looks fantastic... makes me glad I ordered an MY11.5!

Looks shorter than the previous shifter, which will bring a more sporting intent!

I wonder what other pleasant surprises i'm in for? I guess it would be too much to hope for the LED Tail Lights...

How is this different to MY11?
FYI this is same as in my R, and yes mine is a 11.5

[Big Yellow]

theres more changes in the GTI than in the R if im not mistaken. the r is pretty much unchanged.
