Space wise, the Civic feels just as cramped as the Golf. But of course you have more space in the boot. Good if you want to ferry around 3 golf bags I guess. If you are gunning for an Accord, please go for the Camry. For the same amount, the Camry drives like a better car in that class. By the way, what sort of high end stuff are you looking for in the Camry? Leather seats, electric seats? Otherwise I think the Golf should have all the gadget and gizmos that the Camry doesn't have.

does VW have its own thing to cool down the turbos b4 the engine is completely off...

or is it recommended to put a turbo timer for hardcore pedal to the metal drivers like me?

Mine max was 128.... During sunny day chasing the GTi.... Conventional way to cooldown is to slowdown the speed Hehe.
