My New Car

[SJ_GTI]

That would be really annoying for suspension settings (I assume that's basically what the DCC does?), though I've noticed that a lot of my rental cars that have a sport setting do that - it'll remember either normal or "Eco" mode, but it won't remember sport. You'd think that a sports sedan would be different though.

IIRC, almost all cars do that with traction control settings.

The Explorer turns off cruise control automatically, which I find annoying. Instead of just hitting the set button, I have to hit the on button and then the set button. I don't know if that's common or not but both of my Hondas had/have a button that would leave cruise either on or off. Not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but if there were an easy way to fix it, I would.

FWIW Traction/Stability control definitely reset on each start up. Also FWIW you also can only turn stability control completely off when in race/sport mode. Otherwise it is just on a reduced setting (which isn't really noticeable unless you are trying to drift  ).

DCC controls a lot of things FWIW. Suspension, steering weight, exhaust noise, interior engine noise, etc...I know on the individual screen there are about a dozen different things you can set.

I think there's some kind of law/regulation that says TCS/ESP settings need to revert back to their "full on" setting after a vehicle is turned off and then restarted.

Laws like that are why humans are going to become extinct sooner than later.

I think it's more of a liability concern.

My Toyotas and Subarus were like the Ford cruise control. Have to manually turn it on. I GREATLY prefer the Honda hard-button which stays on, I use cruise a lot even toodling around base at 35mph.

I haven't had cruise control in over 6 months.  Don't really notice anymore.

[SJ_GTI]

So those RS4 reps are out of stock and might be out of production. VMR manufactures to order though so the vendor is going to check and see if they are making them again soon. If not I am probably just going to order a set of the first wheel.

I don't use mine because I enjoy pissing off other drivers with my inconsistent cruising speed on the highway.

That certainly can be annoying as the other driver.

I see it as a sort of challenge...seeing how consistent I can be.  Once you get a feel for what your vehicle feels (and mostly sounds) like at a given speed, it's pretty easy to hold it on flattish ground without looking at the speedo very much.  Crazy how delicate/precise/still our feet can be on the gas pedal.

[SJ_GTI]

Welp got that answer quick.

The RS4 rep isn't technically out of production but demand is so low they very rarely make them (and could very well simply decide to stop).

The other one is, not surprisingly, one of their most popular wheels and is almost always in stock and in production. I know is pretty standard but I think I am just going to go with this one.

[Raza]

I like those. 

[FoMoJo]

How about black rims? 

[Raza]

I like black wheels on dark blue cars.  It's a good look. 



Is that the same color as your car, Tony? 

[68_427]

No the MK6 R was a lighter shade of blue




Here's black.  I think the bright silver will match better because Lapiz Blue has so much depth to it that black wheels just can't match

[12,000 RPM]

I'm all about matching luminance.... I'd go with something gray or "hyper silver/black"

[SJ_GTI]

If I had a white/black/grey car I would probably go with black wheels (and probably black out some of the silver accents). But I generally think silver goes better with blue so I am going to go with silver wheels and keep the various silver accents.

[MX793]

Bronze or gunmetal would look sweet.

[FoMoJo]

Both look good, imo but,  for my taste, I'd rather have less of a contrast.  The black seems more subdued to me with a darker colour.

[CaminoRacer]

I like silver best because of the depth of the paint, like you said

[SJ_GTI]

Wheels have been ordered (the silver ones). Probably won't put them on until some time in March though.

[SJ_GTI]

New wheels have arrived...

[giant_mtb]

So anybody want to buy a 2016 Golf R with <3500 miles? I'll even throw in an extra set of wheels.

I'm looking at trade in values too

[SJ_GTI]

Jeebus. There is so much wrong with the SS (for me):

Too big
No AWD
Less storage

But dat V8 doe.

It doesn't help that we get our 2016 bonus next week.
