Mk7.5 Golf - News and Discussion Thread

[GabrielT]

Thanks all! GabrielT, I think yes lights are the same as normal golfs. But dual day time running lights! I didn't opt for Lux pack. Only DAP.

Looks sleek as! Yay dual drl at least haha. Can't wait for mine. I didn't opt for the lux pack as well. Haven't even seen one here in bne but I have seen the r. Btw silly question, did you get environment lighting for the exterior side mirrors as standard?

Do you mean lights under the exterior side mirrors? If so, no I don't have it. I think it's only with the lux option.

Yeah dats what I meant. Hmm tot the gti would have them as standard... love the tartan though and hence why I didn't get the lux pack (and of course a few grand back in my pocket)

I was also hoping that would be standard and was one of the first things I checked [emoji846].I love the tartan too! Really supportive seats.

I didn't opt for the infotainment pack either. No complaints about the sound system or the infotainment system. But hey, I don't know what I'm missing [emoji846].

IKR! Small things that gets you crazy and keep thinking about. (Have been trying to squeeze out this very info from my dealer but alas) Without infotainment pack you won't have the active info display? Or have I been mislead all these while?

No, you got it right. I don't have the active info display.

A fan of the conventional dials eh? I pulled the trigger on the info pack though.

So how is the sound quality? Did you have the mk7 before? Better sounding, any bass?

Also car looks awesome! Congrats!

Thanks [emoji3]. I'm not an audiophile and no, didn't have MK7. To me, the sound quality is good.

A great story on how the original GTI came to be ...

The performance range is now shown on the VW Australia website. No info on the Wolfsburg edition R that I could find though.
Looking at the specifications it says the R comes with Lapiz Blue as opposed to the Atlantic Blue on the regular Golf range. I thought the R I saw in the showroom was Atlantic Blue and not Lapiz Blue, either way it looked awesome!

I can definitely say it is Lapiz Blue as it's what I ordered

Yeah same

Just read that the R doesn't have fog lights, prob due to the increased air intake. Will miss the fog lights.
Also the MK7 never had them as well. Never noticed this before.
Oh well.

Or the Mk6 R, or the Mk5 R32. The Rs have never had foglights.
