That would be the first time it's been disclosed. It seems like kind of an irrelevant measurement, as the actual metal roof or the antenna base are more useful height measurements.

Absolute height is important to the DOT. So in the technical documents they'll put the absolute height. But for sales, they know we don't care about the antenna, so they put the roof height.

Anyone know if hill hold is on the car? I have seen numerous times in different threads that it would be but the manual has no word of it.

Yea that's a bummer with the Hill Hold Assist not being there. I was one of the nay-sayers until my TDI, which has it, and it rocks. Back to e-brake manual assist.

Lol that's what I'm gonna have to do. Hopefully that will help me. Not to get too far off topic, but in the manual it says not to keep the engine at a constant speed for "a long time" when breaking the car in. Seems pretty vague to me. I might be picking up the car on a weekend and driving it back to school (330 mile trip). Would I be fine as long as I didn't use cruise control and varied my speed between say, 55 and 85? Not to mention there's some red lights, slowing down and merging onto other roadways, etc?
