If yours works like mine, pressing mode button takes you out of CarPlay and you can use the stereo interface to control music

My head unit has CarPlay and Android auto. Android version is miles ahead atm. Voice search works perfectly, Google maps is very good. It's still too limited, they need to get more apps adapted.

http://www.evo.co.uk/features/16545/best-tyres-evo-tyre-test-2015/page/0/4 Tested objectively and subjectively on a golf. Not every tyre suits every car. Michelin will work better on some cars than others. All I can say, is that the cs5 had been brilliant for me.

f**king brilliant! Love them. Brilliant for wafting.

I've put Continental cs5 on the octavia. Very grippy, much better traction than the kumhos that it came with.

Ps3's are over rated imo, the ps2 was a better performance tyre. Iirc the ps3 replaced the pilot exalto, and the super sport the ps2. Continental 5's are good, Hankook are brilliant for the money.

I think people just have a hard time believing that you've never had to put any oil in any car. Ever. Ever ever. Not even a little drop.

I'd go 15% over 17% unless you're planning further mods (cams etc). And I was specifically advised to avoid airtec! Ended up with a gp intercooler, which is definitely the best if you can get one, but they go used for the same as airtec etc new. Grs motorsport is the one to go for if gp isn't...

Mclaren Ascot is a great place to walk around. Had an f1 gtr in last time.

Gt2

Need a new battery for the Meg, any advice on where cheapest?

I'd have another in a heartbeat. The last 2k is immense.

No on the mk2 no bars.

Nein?

Yeah, mk2 in full uber cab spec! Silver. Boot is massive!

Are parts as inflated for the golf as the m3? Would of thought just being younger would mean the golf is less liable to need as much upkeep?

Timing chain. Read about it. Decide not to buy one. Ever.

It's going to be fun in a terryfing way.

Why? Babies are easy. Right? Right?

That was a reply to you lol. Why are you looking for a problem that isn't there?

All things considered, I would. But the noise is tempting.

How is it an argument lol. I called it apples and oranges. I didn't say the guy was wrong? I didn't even disagree with him?

It's a silly argument. Turbo fan boys always use power as the criteria to justify turbos being better, because it favours turbos. But if you use torque, everyone would prefer a na motor. Ie turbo lump with 300lbft versus petrol with the same? No contest.

Apples and oranges.

I was considering one, but got seduced by the boot on the Uber bus Engine isn't that quick, but the noise is great! And if paddles are what you want dsg is light years ahead of smg

I think the dsg unit is more prone to problems beyond 100k. Get one with sensible miles and you're minimizing chances of problems. But it's an enthusiast owned car a lot of the time. I've always sold my cars privately. Bar the 2 that had issues, which I moved on to dealers. Maybe I'm wrong, but...

Can I be blunt? I don't understand that at all. At low speed, it's the most fun I've had in a car. Nudge the back out at every opportunity. On a decent road, the engine response and chassis balance is immense. The r26 was harder to enjoy at sane speeds, because the engine is dull.

Yeah meant the mk5 lol. The mk6 was the 2 litre. Although does have silly residuals.

I agree with this completely, but with a baby on the way, 4 doors will make life easier. Much easier. Although (personally) I don't see how an impreza is any better. If the m3 feels a bit to grippy to exploit on a daily basis, an impreza will be worse. What about something like a mk6 R32? Bit...

Weird cars. I'm happy with mine, it's good to drive, quick, etc. But no attachment to it at all. Just does everything really well with no fuss.
