lol ha very true, to be honest I did try to read all of mine and got about 3/4 of the way through....and then I went for a drive! I must have missed the bit about the correct logo sizing. Thanks mate, will resize all of mine tonight and upload them onto the system and see how they look.

Just placed my order for a 103 TSI Highline Black on Black Leather with Panoramic sunroof - cant wait!

Wanting to put a set of these factory Rotary rims on it if I can get them cheap enough or aftermarket:



or maybe a set of these



If I can convince the financial controller

Anyone have any recommendations for a set of lowered springs that wont alter the comfort too much?

I've corrected my post, the size you want is 400 x 240. Major formats accepted

Has anyone received a Mk7 with the driver assistance package yet?

Yes, I have a Mk7 103TSI Highline with the driver assistance package. Feel free to PM me with questions.

It'd be great if you could post your feedback for all of us to see

Some questions I've had/seen written elsewhere:

* Could you effectively use radar-cruise control and auto-hold to drive down the freeway in morning peak without touching either pedal? (Not that you would, just getting a sense for how they work)

* Are concerns over automatic braking being a safety issue for the car behind well founded? i.e. how sensitive is the radar and can it be over-ridden in a panic situation (i.e. a plastic bag or other floating rubbish flies in front of the car). I'm guessing the system detects your pedal/wheel inputs, if you didn't take your foot off the pedal or steer suddenly it might assume it's detected a false alarm.

I've ordered my 110TDI Highline Limestone grey with these rims. They are fitted by the dealer and supposedly they're harder to get your hand on then the car itself.

Was more curious - my fleet contact sent me a cryptic email that suggested that there were no driver assistance packages at all for several months, but on reflection, she was just saying that if I wanted both leather and the driver assistance package, there's none of those available, which would require a factory order.

Haven't used the adaptive cruise control extensively yet. So far (45km journey with it on almost the entire trip) it has worked well in adjusting car speed in response to traffic ahead moving into and out of my lane, or when I change lanes. Can't comment on it's response in a panic situation as this hasn't occurred yet Haven't been game yet to rely entirely on the ACC and 'city-stop' features in heavy city traffic...without using either pedals.
Have a 400+km trip coming up tomorrow and I'll be using the ACC all the way so will report after.

The white Comfortline that the standard 16" Torontos that I have on mine came off had optioned these Rotaries in black. Looked great.

Nice, would you have any pictures you could share with us ? it would be nice to see what it looks like in the flesh !

Sorry, I have no pictures. My base Golf has the standard 16" Torontos. The white Golf those wheels came off had the 18" black Rotaries, but it did look really great.

Hi All,

The ship FIGARO from the Wallenius Wilhelmsen fleet has arrived into Port Kembla Live Ships Map - AIS - Vessel Traffic and Positions with some shiny new VW's and other German cars.

My MK7 is aboard, is anyone else's Golf aboard this ship ?

My Comfortline 90tsi DSG is due on 16.07. They said 2 weeks after that until I get it. Waiting patiently.
