  Thread: Cornering lights
Post: RE: Cornering lights

It's with the LED headlights, in the headlight cluster, not in the foglap. I don't have non-LED headlights so I'm only assuming this, the cornering lamp is located where the indicator is on non-LED h...

Post: RE: Another biased What Car? Group test

Motoring journalists are over critical. I've never had any complaints about the ride in my Evoque and I don't find it choppy at all. It's still the best looking in its class, inside and out. That Aud...

Post: RE: Why is this forum so quiet?

I think its the demographic that the Evoque is aimed at too. A lot of people that buy them wouldn't know what a forum is. Compared to say a BMW or Golf GTI/R, there's a lot more enthusiast who want to...

I have a MY16, mirrors dip when reversing. Haven't tried a custom reversing position, didn't know you could do that on prior models. I will try it tonight.
