  1. The majority of my current collection. The Corvette was my late stepfathers and needs a strap, it used to be on a very 1960's steel bracelet which unfortunately disintegrated. The Certina needs a bit of attention as does the Buler.
  2. My Hydro Conquest Spends a a lot of time on my wrist, my other main watch is an original Apple sport watch which is pretty useful for activity tracking.
  3. The Climatronic in my Rapid has been doing a great job blowing out really cold air over the last couple of days but the manual A/C in the Polo hasn't been doing such a great job. Which is pretty much what I've come to expect over the time I've owned them both.
  4. They're not slow, feels reasonably "Rapid" until I get back in the Polo have been very pleased with my 1.4 tsi in the 18 months I've had it
  5. Love the armrest in mine, but it's a dsg so doesn't get in the way at all. Takes one second to lift it when putting the handbrake on.
  6. My 2014 Elegance has under bonnet insulation, it's pretty thin compared to the insulation under the bonnet of the Polo however
  7. My Rapid is ex Eurocar from memory ( am on holiday so don't have v5 to check ) the only thing it doesn't have is Amundsen, it has everything else. Have had it 18 months now and am still very happy with it. Will probably keep it another 18 months if all goes well.
  8. I'm 48 and still enjoy giving my Polo gti a bit of stick, the Rapid surprises a few Audi A3's on plenty of occasions too
  9. I love the armrest on my dsg but imagine it would just be a pain on a manual
  10. Mines already got a a factory spare in the boot but last time I was in my local Skoda dealer they were selling the spare wheel kit for £168, I think the tyre with the kit is a 185/60 15 which is what I've got in my boot. The Polo's got a space saver so hope I don't get a puncture in that !
  11. Going to have a play with the Polo tomorrow and see what I can do on that.
  12. Have enabled dial staging on my rapid along with, 1 press unlocking, coming home lights, 4 flashes of the indicators & heated mirrors with heated rear screen on. Managed to get a genuine Carista obd2 on eBay and am very pleased
  13. I drive a Rapid 122ps DSG as my daily car. I do a daily commute of 38 miles,mainly duel carriageway with a few miles of country lanes at each end of my journey. I use the cars acceleration freely and probably average about 75mph on the duel carriageway. As it's nice and warm at the moment climatronic is set to 18 deg. Trip computer has been showing 41mpg on setting 1 over the past few days and 42.3 on setting 2 over the last few weeks. I doubt if I could put up with the lack of performance from the 86ps and the inconvenience of having to change gear myself.
  14. My MY14 Rapid Elegance has 2 height adjustable seats too.
