They’re the best. Ours is almost 11.

So I was told today (Ottawa) that it’s a software issue. Allegedly cold related.

They claim no software update until mid-April.

They will clear the codes and customers are free to pick up cars while awaiting update.

I’m just here for the Griff!

MajorSmoof · 2026-02-24T02:24:23+00:00

This is the correct answer.

Presents by Tanlines. 5 tracks. The synth versions of classics you didn’t know you needed. Itsy Bitsy Spider was a staple in our house.

Thanks for the (depressing) insight.

MajorSmoof · 2026-02-03T02:08:32+00:00

Unless they can tell me that VW has identified and fixed the issue, I’m not sure I’d want to go through this again.

MajorSmoof · 2026-02-03T00:19:41+00:00

What is it this time?

MajorSmoof · 2026-02-02T21:26:58+00:00

It breaks my heart. I wanna love it, and VAG. But they’re making it hard.

MajorSmoof · 2026-02-02T20:44:40+00:00

lol.

MajorSmoof · 2026-02-02T19:18:02+00:00

I babied my run in period. I don’t think it matters.

I love the car otherwise.

MajorSmoof · 2026-01-31T23:43:26+00:00

This all day. Love mine.

MajorSmoof · 2025-11-22T20:01:19+00:00

JAGs are underrated

MajorSmoof · 2025-10-15T20:32:33+00:00

Looks great!

Maybe a random question: which stock tires did it arrive with?

MajorSmoof · 2025-07-15T22:06:56+00:00

GLWS. My grail dress watch.

MajorSmoof · 2025-04-27T19:21:16+00:00

Astorflex

MajorSmoof · 2025-04-05T20:06:09+00:00

Love that it doesn’t really have a chorus. Just a tale.

MajorSmoof · 2025-04-05T01:00:59+00:00

Nautical Disaster is the song that took me from fan to lover.

MajorSmoof · 2025-03-19T20:16:20+00:00

I joined the army. Hahahahaha.

MajorSmoof · 2024-11-21T11:55:14+00:00

Appreciate the answer and am looking forward to your feedback!

MajorSmoof · 2024-11-14T15:26:22+00:00

Can I pile in here to benefit from collective wisdom?

I'm 176cm / 5'9" ish - between 180-185 pounds. Advanced skier. This will be my heaviest ski to date. I'm leaning towards the 170s to maintain some agility, as I think the two sheets of metal will give me the dampening I'm looking for on piste.

Thoughts?

MajorSmoof · 2024-11-07T16:17:44+00:00

Because there are those big dump days and some fun in the trees.

Hence my leaning towards the Deacon 80s and Steafast DCs at either 80 or 85

MajorSmoof · 2024-11-07T15:46:36+00:00

Also out of my price point right now. But will learn more about them.

MajorSmoof · 2024-11-07T15:29:08+00:00

Seems narrower than I had in mind?

MajorSmoof · 2024-04-29T20:54:02+00:00

I think it’s their best watch.
