Re: VW Golf R - An Update from C&D

There are 3 stages of it available. On, somewhat disabled and extremely disabled. Reviews I've read say its great in this third mode for your average non professional driver - ME! Lol.

From reviews and comparisons i've read on vortex from people who have now taken possession of their Golf R's, they say you cant turn it off. Maybe Canada finally got the better option haha!

I sold it last year - I've had my deposit down on the R since last January. I miss the R32 a lot but two doors just was not practical for the dd anymore :(.

They are right, it cannot be 100% defeated. Most don't realize though that it can be set to a 3rd (almost completely off) setting by holding the esp button for 5 seconds.

almost completely off is off enough lol
the new s4 has on and off, with off you can easily do donuts in the parking lot
in the tt the "off" you can easily get the car to spin around if you give it too much power on a turn

Re: VW Golf R - An Update from C&D

So funny thing happened. I went down to grab my VIN for my R and low and behold it's not rising blue but carbon steel grey. Now after a year of thinking I wanted the blue I was starting to question how that color was going to keep my interest. After much thought and web surfing I find myself really liking the CSG and can see myself not getting tired of it.

Weird how **it works!

Plus my wheel choice will still look killer....I hope!

Northland.... Really not an issue. Like I said I think it is for the best. That carbon steel is a pretty cool colour.

Just Curious. That's what I ordered too!

Sounds like we will be one of the few, Northland has 8 Rising blue, 2 carbon steel Grey, 2 Candy white,1 black and 1 tornado red.

The percentage of Rising blue does not surprise me, but it is making the grey appeal even more to me.
