i think the engine breaking assist thing is when you break (in DSG only) when it down shifts the car will have a slight jerk? iono maybe its that...or the thing where the car will break itself in an uphill incline?
all mkv GTI DSG comes with launch control...you just know how to engage it.
put your car in S or DSG...turn off ESP...engage brakes fully (push it all the way) and rev your car...it will stop at 3000 and then let go of the brakes...theoretically your tires shouldnt skid | mine did not come with a 300w upgrade 
i have no leather so mine lumbar is manual 
i'm not sure about the braking assist... if that is downshifting like you are saying, then any automatic trans would be the same?
someone offsite told me that the launch control was removed after 2008... i can't confirm. my 07 has instructions on how to use it in the owner's manual... does your 09 have it?

ofourse launch control is only on DSG, how are u gonna use launch control on a manual?

maybe this 300w setup is the "premium" upgrade i see others writing about on the vw boards... apparently it costs a lot and it's absolute crap. better off going with aftermarket, unless they've changed it.
i have rns-510 navi unit with the HDD so i'm good in that department... i just need to work on the rest when i have $$$ again.
i have a 3dr. mods? um... well it's not stock. search around here you'll see it (covered in blue tape) 
all these acronyms confuse the hell out of me... i'm going to have to start carrying a cheat sheet or something in my wallet soon  | |

wow.... those seats are nasty...
The interior is fine as it is. But those picnic seats have to go...
I hope it's just some funky package.

anyone interested in taking a peek at a 2010 gti clarkdale has one in white.
interior looks nicer than my mk5.... wheels however look like cheap crap with the black highlights (mine are grey). at least they got rid of the off road look (lowered ride height)...

The 300W upgrade is the Dynaudio system, and have been available on the GTI/Jetta/EOS/Tiguan since its debut in the US. Us canadians got shafted, and did not see this being available until 2010 when the Tech package was added (Satnav + Dynaudio).
I'm in town today, so I'll definately stop by to test drive the GTI. I've only driven the MK6Tdi and was super impressed with how quiet it was inside! The diesel engine sounded like a slow reving 1.8T, and the torque was pretty insane.
As always, us Canadians get shafted in that you can't get the AFS HID headlights, or the Satnav (RNS510) +dynaudio here.. :S

Don't know why people are complaining about the seats. The interlagos interior is a signature of the GTI, much like the Huf rims or the red trim around the front grill. A proper GTI should have the interlagos seats and not leather, just like how a Ferrari should be red and not blue.

In europe and asia, the shape and design of the cloth seats is the exact same as the leather.

with the exception of the mazda, i wouldnt agree that those cars have nicer interiors.
if you take a good look at a genesis or mustangs interior, you'll quickly notice the use of cheap plastics. you wont find that on a european car!

I like the new mustang's interior, as for the camaro, not so much...
Genesis interior looks like it'd scratch easy

I fell in love with the car once I sat in it. The interior quality is just incredible... light-years ahead of any Japanese/Korean/American car of comparable price! Cross-shopped with the Lancer Ralliart, and definitely no comparison there. The Ralliart is sportier but the GTI is more livable day to day.
Bought the black 2010 Mk6 5-door at Clarkdale on the spot, has the Luxury Package inside which was pretty much all I wanted. Nice, supportive leather seats that smell sooo good. The new touchscreen head unit is SICK.
Monday... I can't wait for Monday!

Yes. Mine now!
Only had something like 90kms on the odo when I test drove it... added 20kms to that. 
Your wording has me suspicious. 0_o;; Is there anything I should watch out for?
