      Why of GTI(why of VW)


It easily explains the desire, "It might be why" though it might be common what to all the Volkswagens cars to say nothing of GTI.

  

The origin of name?

Volkswagens is a meaning "National car" in German.

I hear that the name of golf was not golf of sports, has the meaning "Bay" or "Creek" by another in German, and golf originated in Golf Strom (Gulf Stream). Gulf Stream seems to give a calm climate to the Western Europe region.

GTI is a name that Volkswagens has given only to a sporty model of successive by abbreviating Grand Touring Injection (playground touring injection) since 1976 with the tradition. (From Wikipedia. )

  

The winker lever is the left in right steering wheel and why ..it is...

The right steering wheel of a Japanese car might move the wiper to the winker lever of Volkswagens occasionally by mistake even if accustomed of attached to the left, and not becoming accustomed not to mention. This seems to follow an international standard when saying why, and there seems to be an intention of always concentrating the right hand on driving by leaving the winker with the left hand with the operation of the shift lever and air-conditioning.

  

Why is the scale in 30km and 50km of the speedometer red?

As for the speedometer of GTI (Or, it is Volkswagens auto), the scale in 30km, 50km, and 130km(Excluding a Japanese specification) has reddened. This seems to be a standard of the pace of running according to the road situation when driving in Germany. When running in 30km in the place where attention is necessary for the pedestrian such as the schools and the hospitals, 50km in the urban area, and autobahns in Germany, the speed that can start most efficiently is 130km.

  

Is the angle adjustment of the backrest of the seat dial type [nanohanaze]?

To knock down the adjustment of the backrest of the seat by the dial type compared with the lever type, time feels taking inconvenient very much. This is made easy for the rigidity to the impact from the outside to rise because it makes it to the dial type, and not to move in the seat at the emergency. Moreover, it is fine-tuned that any figure driver can take the best position by making it to the dial type.

  

Is the lighting of meter panel blue [nanohanaze]?

The lighting of blue is an important element to wrap the entire cockpit in settled atmosphere, and to do driving gently to driver's eyes, and comfortably.
