Why would you want to drive a performance engine in Eco?

Why would you want to run it in sports mode all the time?

Ok, I'll bite,

Let's not forget what we are all driving here i.e. An SUV, albeit one of the fastest.

Eco mode is good for the coasting feature and if you want "performance" then a quick pull down of the gear stick will do the trick. I find accelerater to sensitive in sports mode for normal driving. Anyone else?

The systems don’t save settings for quite a few options. I prefer the screen to turn off after 10 seconds however I need to tick this setting every time I run the car. It’s very much a first world issue and barely registers as a frustration however it would be nice to be able to customize settings and have them remain.

Otherwise I’ve put 450km on mine now, have put it on sport mode a few times, I definitely prefer the mapping on the accelerator pedal in sports, I find in regular drive the pedal needs to be depressed a long way before the engine wakes up which is fine if pottering around, however the S mode is definitely a lot nicer in Sydney traffic..

Can you have the sports mode accelerator pedal mapping but with the regular D shifting so it doesn’t hold the gears so long?

Have taken it to about 4000rpm at probably 80% throttle, is good! Told myself I’d let it cover 1000km before I give it a hiding though

I’ve often wished for that. S is for Sydney Sprint between traffic lights. 0-60 then drop the throttle off, it holds the gear at high revs and too long for traffic. Sounds like I’m a boy racer who can’t find 3rd. lol. I tend to flip and hold the + paddle to force it to M and shift up, and continue to hold the paddle to cancel M.
I’ve also started driving in M around town. It’s a very smooth experience with the 162TSI and I think the DSG is at its best when I’m selecting gears. Personal opinion.

Hi. I'm getting 162TSI Highline with R-Line Indium Grey color and was wondering what color of number plate would look better - black on white or white on black? Would be awesome if someone can share photos.

My order includes NSW Premium plates but thinking to get Euro plates - front mini size and back regular size. But the front factory plate holder seems larger than the mini size plate. Should I ask the dealer not to drill on the front bumper and just attach it so that I can change it later? Any photo with front/back euro plate would be great. Thanks in advance.

We went with white on black with indium grey. Have seen euro plays and they also look great full size but we are in Qld.

Thanks for the photo. How did the dealer attached the front plate - drilled or tape attached?

Anyone else installed full/mini size euro plate to the front? Please share your experience how it was attached. Thanks.

No worries, do you mind editing your comment to remove the pics now that you have seen them?

I believe ours was drilled in but haven't had a real good look.

I collected my new 140TDI R-line from the dealer today. It's wonderful.

I need to put a towbar on it. Does anyone know whether I can fit an after-market, or must I get a genuine VW one (at twice the cost)? I've been told that the newer diesels with the "ad blu" must only have the genuine article, but would like to try to verify that. Thanks.

How much did you pay ?

What did you cancel and what did you end up buying in the end ?
