Once you get used to her hips in the mirror it's not a big deal. And you sit so far back in the car, that when you back out just a little, you can see each side. Sitting almost on top of the rear axle is great lol.
Rear smear... just go faster than everyone around you. Then you won't need to look behind :cool:
Being a truck driver I'm used to only having side mirrors so it never bothered me I guess.
For the type of car the mk5 is, I actually think it has great visibility. I've definitely been in worse...

I'm past the point in my life where it needs to be as loud as possible. I want sound quality, not quantity. Of all the YouTube videos I've seen, the AWE touring with resonators sounded the best to me with an OEM downpipe.
Those 275 Super Sports are barely holding on as is. With a 100 or more torque you'd definitely need wider and stickier rubber. I like where the car is though. It's powerful enough where you can have fun and play with it. Sometimes when you add (too much) power, you lose that playfulness and it...
Hope so :rofl: I was out in a drizzle this morning and under half throttle going through intersections her ass was hanging out lol! This car is waaaaay too much fun ;)
Congrats!
You have to drop the hood from about a foot high. Not lay it on there and push.
The blue film is supposed to come off lol. But yes it changes brightness on it's own.
At what rpm are you downshifting? Mine burbles all the time. Had a random gunshot here and there but those are...
Leave the singles for the mk4. The mk5 needs a dual tip.
If you want to be completely different, make a quad tip. 2 smaller tips in each exit.
Or a Viper style exhaust with oval tips exiting in front of the rear wheels.
My total with spoiler was $58,245. Spoiler got taken off the price later.
Your price is spoiler plus safety package I think. I also had wheel locks added.
12 hours later, fully charged. I was surprised to see that even though I took the car on a 320 mile road trip, the battery was not fully recharged after that. Sitting on the docks in Jersey for 2 months drained the battery a lot.
