Hi , I have a golf R on order and have just been told it has gone back from Aug 6 build to Sept 3 , slipped back 4 weeks just great !. it has got me thinking it has given me time to add a Sunroof and Active Cassie Control is it worth it ? another £1430 , help me decide I am so indecisive, I ticked every other option on the list .
TIA
-
do it
-
Are you having buckets?

Without a doubt go for it mate.

Get your revised order in immediately before it's too late!
Sunroof yes. ACC not for me, especially if it always defaults back to Comfort 'Normal' settings every time you switch off the ignition - I drove a S4 Audi which did that on map settings - PITA!
-
I had ACC on a Scirocco and I honestly found the differences between settings too subtle. I'd try and drive something with it before committing.
-
Personally I'd get ACC and the sunroof. I found the settings were sufficiently different and I thought it defaulted back to normal which is supposed to match standard non acc set up.

Buckets defo

....Thanks for pointing that out - 'Normal' is too comfy for my taste, hence me calling it 'Comfort' :happy2:
I have corrected my earlier post accordingly.

So far It 3 door R with DSG in Steel Grey
RNS510
Front and Rear Parking
Cruise
Rear Camera
Winter Pack
Lux Pack
Dyna Audio
Storage Pack
Service Pack
19" Silver Talladegas.
ACC and Sunroof ?? can't Decide but probably
-
The buckets are extremely comfortable, but with what they fetch on the stolen goods fenced on forums and ebay market, they do make the car a bit more of a target.
Is DAB an option? I think that's a great addition.
-
I had 19" on mine and found the ride a bit hard so would have liked the ACC had a Scirocco R which has it as STD and found myself using the Comfort mode most of the time (although I am getting near 50 now so do appreciate the extra comforts)

Not sue if it's changed now but DAB didn't used to be available if you speced Sat/Nav
-
If you have RVC, do you really need front/rear sensors?
-
Ah nice one do it! :happy2:

Hi Chris , I am 48 and just can't decide , I think I will be keeping this for a while and handing it down to one of our boys ,I don't want anything that could be problematic and costly outside of VW Warranty ACC is something I was wary off also leaking Sunroofs.

You need to add another two doors! :happy2:

Hi Paul
Didn't realise it was you at first but now remember you telling me the spec earlier. Think with all Modern Cars thought of anything going wrong out of warranty is frightening but I think a well looked after example (like yours will be) any problems are usually going to occur early on plus you could always extend the warranty if your thinking of keeping it that long.
-
You can extend the 100% factory warranty when you pay for your new car. £205 gets you a 4th year or £490 gets you a 4th and 5th year. :happy2: Oh and get a sunroof, I have really missed having one on my last 2 cars.
-
Another vote for the sunroof from me, my Ed30 options that got ticked had the roof second tick after xenons back in early '07.
It really adds to the car in my view, especially a very few cars have them these days.
Cannot really comment on ACC myself, did test drive a 'Rocco with it on, was not that impressed, but that was only after a short test drive.
-
I tried rocco with ACC and wasn't impressed as I found sport mode best all around so would never use any other setting. For the price of ACC I would get great coilovers set from Bilstein or others and they would be miles better then stock ACC even in sport mode
Sun roof is great to have. I don't have one and miss it badly as my missus has on another golf!
Xenos mandatory!

My Ed30 has sunroof and I can honestly say its only been open 3 times in 9 months, its probably not worth having for your own use, maybe for re-sale "Premium" value tho
-
i would seriously consider dropping rns510. they charge something silly for it, Retrofit it and I promise all that will happen is you save a bucket of cash, Which can go towards things that you can't retrofit ;)
-
The only thing with doing that is that the mk6 golfs I've seen spec'd with an RNS from the factory have a shark fin aerial, where as cars that have an RCD have not got a roof aerial
-
I noticed that about the aerials , I also get 6 cd player and RVC included with the shark fin and RNS-510 for the £1780 minus 10% so the cost is £1602 , Nav unit £650 rvc kit £350 plus aerial and if I wanted it the 6 cd ,I think I will settle for factory this time
-
Revo stage 2 and Turbo Back Milltek ? or ACC and sunroof , I keep thinking Factory stuff now bolt on bits later but tbh Its a Golf and how much do you spend on one
-
Just added the ACC @ £722.50 after discount. I can manage without the roof .
-
You need to change the colour to red :drool:

^ This is at harbour cars I Chichester, Ive just driven past and seen it - Looks stunning!
I would also have sunroof over ACC

Sunroof.An absolute must. :happy2: And stick with 3 doors! :happy2:

Why are you obsessed with sunroofs. :signLOL: they are nice to have but an absolute must. :rolleye:

I think he's lying to us and doesn't actually live in rainy England.
I personally couldn't give a toss about a sunroof. I'd certainly not spend £700 on one!

I changed car to get one! And was gonna spend 1200 on a retro-fit Webasto on the old one! :rolleye:
Just gotta have it! Love feeling the sun on the old boat-race Top Cat! :smiley:

nah TR is my favourite colour on GTIs but on the R they should be Rising Blue, Black or Carbon Grey only imho
-
Main option IMO is the buckets. Make such a difference. Sunroof and ACC is nothing to get stressed about.

You can't get it in carbon grey...

Stage 2+ or Loba Hybrid
