    My 103TDI Comfortline (VI) with Sport Pack (April 09) had the cornering light function enabled right from the showroom. Perhaps this changed after the new National Laws (including fog light use) came...

    I bought my Golf from Barloworld in Victoria, and it came with Premium Bluetooth. Mine is definitely the rSAP version. That was 12 months ago though and they may have learnt something since then.

    R Spec tyres definitely have problems with road use, and yes, they only really work well when they are hot. As mentioned before, they "go off" after perhaps 8 to 10 heat cycles and become hard,...
