Re: Uncle Dude's Candy White - pics
The fog lights are turned on in the pictures, so that might explain the ethereal look.

I guess it does look like angel eyes - I didn't really know what that meant until I googled it. Definitely not my taste. I think at some point I will swap the springs for the euro ones, but for now I want to drive it stock until I am used to it.
Some observations so far:
* The car came with these all season tires, I have no idea on the quality: Dunlop SP Sport 01 AS http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Dunlop&tiremodel=SP+Sport+01
* I love the climatronic and heated seats
* The car came with the rubber monster mats
* The gear ratios are perfect
* The little "hello" the lights give when they adjust is a riot
* The stereo is pretty good IMO, what an upgrade from my MKIV. The dealer set the speed sensitive volume on 1, so I will leave it there for now.
* The steering wheel is a work of art

RGR That! I am now a Huge fan of the GTI my brother has owned older ones for years and years. I actally traded my F150 Super crew for my 08 and couldn't have mad a better move as before the truck i had a mustang GT. Haveing said all that my F150 had auto climate and it was the worst i had ever had and i had nothing but problems so i was kinda excited my 08 does not have it. however I do like the way it looks . and it actually looks a little cooler than just little turn knobs so im kinda jealous......LOL is it dual zone?

Yep, it is dual zone. I think it is debatable as to how effective dual zone heating and cooling is in a small space. I just like the thermostat functions and defrost / fog settings. This is my third Golf, and it is nice having something other than turn knobs.KuzeVW said:

^^ We will have to see how they wear - they are sure expensive to replace.
One thing I noticed last night, as I drove way out of my way to a microbrewery, is that the reflection of the centre roof lights reflect badly in the rear view mirror - after it is flicked to night mode. Anyone else experience this? I think I can get used to it.
I am starting to really enjoy the sound of that turbo. The car is quite tame and refined when going easy and shifting at 3000, but when you punch it it sure makes a pretty sound.
