Yep im also slightly disappointed. Funny isn't it, that we get upset that our cars dont fart -

Every review of the 245 that I have watched has made the DSG fart. Maybe theres been a software update or something I dont know. The Pre FL 230's do it a lot too in standard form -

Yes I have been driving in Eco and its rubbish. I now drive in individual with drive mode set to sport and the exhaust sound thing set to eco as I hate it -

Not sure on 0-60 times but they quote 320PS - Now I am not sure if I believe that or not but when I asked them they said its because the vRS's run a higher than quoted bhp from the factory. I think you have to remove them prior to servicing but according to my 245, its telling me its not due a service until 18k miles or in 800 odd days, in which case I wouldn't even need to service it at all as my lease is 2 years -

The DTUK boxes are extremely good. As close to a remap as you can get without remapping. I have one on my 120D which has taken it to 223bhp on the dyno. Considering one for my 245 but want to run it in first. -

Mine came with floor mats yes. How much are the rubber ones? I have rubbers ones on my BMW and I do like them! Haven't tried out the 12v yet but Im guessing they are ignition live? -

Been driving mine round a bit today. Cant get over how effortless it is! Pulled off a few times from the lights with the go faster pedal at only 50% and it just flies. Loving the paddle shift too. I cant get it to "DSG fart" though?! Took it on my morning commute down the M42/M6 and it sits at 70mph at 1900RPM - thats less than my 1 series diesel. Averaged 35mpg on my 18 miles commute to work. The car was delivered to me showing 36mpg from the 135 mile journey, so the delivery driver must have booted it all the way up from London! -
Just had mine delivered. Went for a quick drive and its much quicker than I thought too be honest. Build quality is superb too. Quick photo below but will get better ones over the weekend

Black roof would look nice. Wish i had specced a panormaic roof as they give the illusion of a black roof. Just looked at the photos again - they sit pretty high dont they! -

Nice! Im paying £650 for my 120 and have been quoted £1000 for a multicar policy for the VRS, 120 and my partners Mini which I think is damn good -
