I hear ya. I just bought this manual even though I'm seriously considering a move to the Bay Area. But I have a motorcycle too so when I can't take the traffic... LANE SPLITTING HERE I COME!
I know a few people that live in the bay area and they all say traffic is horrendous.
Along similar lines, does anyone have any insight if DCC can make 19” wheels on a GTI more livable? Specifically 19” Pretorias.
Thanks!
I think my 60+ year old age is showing, but it seems odd to me that VW paired the Dynamic Chassis Control with a killer Fender stereo system in the ( U.S.A.) SE. The DCC likely appeals most to older drivers and the Fender system appeals most to younger drivers. I like good sound, but hardly need Fender audio.
Might have made more sense perhaps to pair DCC with Leather, leaving the Clark Plaid standard on the SE as many would prefer. (Frankly, I think the Plaid is pretty cool too.)

Absolutely. Look up posts in the Golf R section. Specifically read Al_in_philly's account of the differences. He says Comfort mode, even on 19's, is like driving a plush luxury car. Sport is too stiff for 98% of situations, but normal is just right.

Kind-of. While it may make it more comfortable, but the 19's will still be susceptible to US roads - or lack thereof.
This is very helpful - thank you!
Do you feel it is safe to assume a similar effect on GTIs with 19” rims such as the Pretorias? Not sure if there are other differences between the two cars that would make the camparison unfair...
A very reasonable point. Thank you!

Experience pack still tough to find out west. The good news is that my dealer "found" a car that has it. Said it was already in transit and he grabbed it. Bad news is that although VW dot com says its on the dealer's lot, it ain't. Dealer says it hasn't reached the port (assuming San Diego?), and ETA to the dealer is mid-late April.
I've waited for a car to ship before (from Germany though), so no big deal, but it would be cool if we could track cars as easily as we can track a $6 USB cable I order from Amazon.

^^^ When Amazon starts selling cars you will be able to...
Yes, but then to get free freight I'll be forced to bundle my car with those razor blades I order periodically and the garden gloves my wife likes.
But the Golf literally would be the box it came in.
