Didn't think I'd get into one so soon!

You have your clear bra and ceramic coating scheduled already right?
Keep an eye on the coolant level, if it goes down check the water pump/thermostat housing.
If it goes from AWD to FWD (you'll know by the excessive spinning) get the haldex filter cleaned (some gum up early).
Enjoy !
Also check your insurance, you'll likely want to lower your comprehensive deductible, and raise your collision deductible. This car attracts random damage, but is very good at avoiding accidents. I've already had 3 comp claims on this car due to the garbage on the roads out here. Comp claims dont count against you as long as you can prove that it was due to unavoidable things. As in, the jack ass in front of you dropping a baseball sized rock into the truck in front of you that fires it 100 feet at your bumper. This are all just hypothetical situations, that have never happened due to the shitloads of construction and rock haulers in Colorado.
Thanks guys. Anything other than the grab handles that have problems that I need to be aware of? lol
I think I've got a sensor that isn't working. I didn't notice my right side mirror lighting up when someone was next to me.
So far I just can't believe it. No idea how I'm gonna sleep tonight...maybe I gotta sleep in the car.
The clutch is certainly gonna take some getting used to. I had a stage 2 aftermarket clutch with a smfw before this and that clutch in the golf r is liiiiiight. I feel like this dude - https://i.imgur.com/8cw104e.mp4
Really loving the awd so far. I've only had fwd cars and I've driven a few rwd cars very briefly, so this all new to me.
It does not light up when someone is next to you. Not sure why everything thinks that. It only lights up when they are in your blind spot. And you must be going at a min speed. If you can see the car then it should not light up. It is also based on how fast they are coming up on you. Read your manual for the details.
