Golf GTI performance first impressions
Golf GTI performance first impressions
It’s definitely a bit taller than I was expecting...
I got a call yesterday to say there was a fault that was being sorted and They were delivering a demo car instead until they’d sorted it. They didn’t seem very forthcoming with what the fault was so I expect the delivery driver scratched it or something...
Ah well, if it’s a few days I don’t care that much - let’s see what happens next....

Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
I think that’s cooler than a GTI
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions

Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
What even TF is it? A T-Roc?
Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
Apparently so! It’s a “VOLKSWAGEN T-ROC R-LINE TSI EVO“ according to AT. I presume it’s a 1.5 turbo?
Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
Looks good that even if it is the wrong car
Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
They need to make an R version of it
Only thing I don’t like about it is the DRL as it looks a bit odd but means you can spot them a mile away.

Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
This is the first thing I do in all cars as well. You'd probably be annoyed as I am about the fact that when I get in our Superb, with my key, when it moves the seat to my position it also slightly raises about 1/2". Does it even if I get back in after stopping. Fecking annoying.
I'd be intrigued to know if other VAG models with memory seats do that.
Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
I just think that if someone does want a small SUV then this is one of the very rare better looking ones.

i think the 19 inch wheels and body kit are flattering things here!Mito Man wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 12:23 pmI just think that if someone does want a small SUV then this is one of the very rare better looking ones.

T-Roc R, Cupra Ateca, SQ2. They’re all the same Golf R engine and transmission aren’t they, in various flavours of the same small(ish) SUV body?
Left over crest; tightens.
Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
A quick look at the list of cars sharing the MQB chassis reveals that almost every VAG car is based on it

Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
I noticed today on the T-Roc that when I gave it some beans the accelerator has a “click” right near the end of the pedal movement that you have to press hard to allow full depression, almost like a lockdown switch.
It’s a bit annoying, i expect my golf will have it too...
I’m fairly hopeful on other stuff though - the interior and gadgets are excellent (yes, I know I’m coming from a 2008 car!) - particularly the fully digital dash, and if the Golf does anywhere even near where the T-Roc does on fuel, then I’ll be happy I didn’t resort to a diesel for this “sensible” phase of my life!

Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
The little click on my 308 at the end is just to override the speed limiter, doesn't actually make a difference to throttle position according to data log, not sure if it's the same on that?
Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
The Merc used to have something like that, but it was a kickdown thing - once you hit the click, it'd change down to the lowest possible gear and would only change up at the rev limiter. I assume your TRoc is manuel though?
Re: Golf GTI performance first impressions
Same as it was on my Megane. You could have WOT without pushing through that.

My mk7 gti did the “click” and so does my current mk7 clubsport s. Can’t see that it does anything at allRich B wrote: ↑Mon Dec 16, 2019 7:11 pm I noticed today on the T-Roc that when I gave it some beans the accelerator has a “click” right near the end of the pedal movement that you have to press hard to allow full depression, almost like a lockdown switch.
