Bi-xsenon will be nice, aux out on the audio console is needed for sure, because civic (at least)coupe will be (in the most percent) driven by younger population, so aux out on audio deck will be nice refreshment for new buyers. Maybe rear Type R spoiler on Type S will be nice also.
Some thoughts after 18k miles (and I'll try not to repeat my suggestions from earlier).
1. If headlights are set in auto make sure they come on for a minimum time (e.g. 2 mins). I've seen several near misses where the lights come on momentarily and other drivers think they're being flashed. That's why I don't use "auto" on my Civic.
2. Better range of seat adjustment.
3. Move the fuel gauge to where the "Rev" lights are (as per the Hybrid)
4. Move the handbrake lever to the same position as on the Hybrid.
I want everything to be perfect and of the quality of a Bently, the performance of a Porsche. I want to be made to feel special and cared about by a multinational corporation based in Japan with 168,000 employees who sell cars by the bucket load all over the world and most of all I want it in any colour other than the ones that are available and I want it for £17,000.
Well for what its worth (rumor) the civ is getting a facelift in october. They are doing away with the shiney silver front and replacing it with a grill like the type r, but the grill will be seperaed into two parts. Not seen any of the other plans yet!
Surely someone has compiled a lis of all these "wishes". I was wondering, how does the dash get scratched? I have never had anything bang against it and they are in places that even the dealer would have to do it purposely!
But the DSG is only a tiny part of the Golf problem.
The entire manufacturing process is at fault and is to be reorganised. A massive task.
Honda have bought-in components from many foreign manufacturers. I just think they go further and pay Porsche for the rights to manufacture or install the DSG.
If not?
Start working on a twin clutch system of their own.
Completely agree, but I still think they will give it a wash wipe, maybe they'll design it so it doesn't hold water? My S GT could do with a couple of slits in the plastic door to let it drain water!
A couple of improvements I'd like to see regarding the display:
Move the Outside Temperature to where the clock/radio/aircon is and get rid of the zero's preceeding the odometer until those thousands are actually used. That will de-clutter the display a bit.
Have the current mpg (the sliding bar graph) and the average mpg on the SAME display, so you can see them both at the same time.
Change the wheel-mounted button for the computer display so that it's a rocker switch, similar to the one for the radio. That way you don't need to go only in one direction.
Just thought of another... the CD changer in the armrest should be able to play MP3 CD's also or maybe even DVD's with MP3 files. You'd be driving for weeks before you'd hear the same song twice!
Improve the indicators in the wing mirror. I dont think they are very effective during the day and also, the light needs to wrap around so that you can see it properly from the side / to the side but slightly back. Like the VW's and indeed the Accords.
Improve sound insulation
Two stage unlocking (drivers door only / all doors)
