Sad.......like I mentioned a while back, even with AWD, that stability just kills the reason on having a R AWD model over a GTI because you just can't use it.
Didn't I read this earlier today here?

In my 212 GTI, if I push the traction control button (car with skid marks behind it) it comes up with a message that says:
Traction Control (ASR) is deactivated.
If I push and hold the traction control button down the above message is displayed followed by:
Stabilization Control (ESC) is deactivated.
Not sure if this ^ is the intrusive part of the traction control system you are all talking about but when I push and hold down the button, the car is...a lot more fun....

be glad you didn't buy one then. horrible car
