So no active/dynamic chassis control option for non GTI/R cars anymore?

It's not mentioned in the information I've received. So it looks like it's not available at this stage.

Odd, the UK reviews were all recommending people consider it as an option. Having said that, it probably wasn't a common option (although there seems to be quite a few 118tsi with it fitted) and I reckon VW Aus would be trying their best to spec up and reduce the options list - or package them together a la the driver assistance package.

Could it be a part of the driver assistance package (profile selection)? Although that would make that package very expensive - I'd like some but not all of what's in there. Or maybe it just wasn't a popular option in the non-sport Mk6?

The DCC isn't part of the Driver Assistance Package, no.

No Dynaudio option has been listed, nor colour MFD. The satnav option for the Comfortline is the 5.8" only, which is standard on the Highline (no upgrade is listed, although it may be available as a dealer-fitted accessory). I think it'd be very unusual to see folding mirrors available even as an option in Australia, with our (generally) wider-than-European-lanes roads.

When I was in Sydney and Melbourne, I wouldn't make generalizations such as this when parking in the city centre. I have also seen some rather atrociously designed carparks in the Brisbane City Centre.

ps you don't need the motorized folding mirror while driving just parking.

As for preordering the GTI, what I meant is taking a preorder with options ticked.

Have the official specs been released yet by VW Aus? Let's reserve judgement until that happens.

The above detail (as provided by my previous post) is official, through unofficial channels (I've been provided with official VW documents). Expect to see the information up on VW's website later this week or early next.

except when you are trying to park at wilson parking town hall in the city! Trust me... Folding mirrors can be useful. I have used them!

I'm not suggesting they're not useful, or that Australia doesn't have roads that are narrow enough to warrant their use whilst driving or parking. I've manually folded my mirrors in during or after parking countless times.

I am suggesting that VW won't see the value in adding them to the list of inclusions for the Golf in Australia. Not enough people will see their worth to want to spend the extra - even if us careful and picky forum types do.
