OK so I got my car yesterday. Thought I would just post a few words of my initial reactions.

The colour is absolutely stunning, the car looks great. I've put my documents away in the glovebox, and hid my satnav in the top part of the glovebox (excellent)

Start the ignition and start moving.. DSG is as smooth as butter, in fact 1,000 times smoother than a Diesel Octavia I had with DSG a couple of years back.

Get moving on the dual carriageway back towards home and the drive is sublime. Firm, but the ride is great - takes bumps with ease (just how I like it)

The engine is powerful, yet quiet. I had a bit of a play up some country lanes later on in "sport". The car hangs onto gears for as long as possible, and before you know it, your up to 70mph in 3/4, engine is singing its high notes, and it is lovely

Got it home and the Mrs likes it, (she hated my previous car too) and I feel a million times better now I'm in a car I like, in fact I love it already.

I'll post a more concise review and pictures later today

Glad you're happy with it. Looking forward to mine

Hi From Finland!

Finally got my car at dealership, getting it for the drive next week.

Decided to share this picture with you after small accident. Originally i ordered silver rims but for some reason it came with black ones. I was totally surprised it looked fantastic, so i decided to forgive the salesperson

just because it looks so good.

I havent seen any good pics from black ones with black wheels, so here we go.

in Finland the car comes pretty much with everything on standard ofc the price is pretty high also 26 000€.

But let me know what you think people, i will upload more pictures after its given to me.

Finally someone who has the same colour combo as me, just wish it would hurry up and get here

Here we go, decided to go out for a drive this evening and I've come up with this little lot: -

oops, my plate is in these...

Very jealous mate! Looks like a great car! Love the colour, suits the Mk2 better than the MK1.

Try again..

Splendid looking thing, that.

Starting to wonder if I shouldn't have saved my money on fancy paint and wheels and got an estate instead... oh well. Too late now!

ive got to say mr gorebrush, that estate looks very nice indeed. i too am wondering if i should have gone down that route

Awesome mate, but... Lose the wind deflectors.

Hmmm opinion still divided on those!

To be fair they don't look too bad, just have a grandadish whiff about them. A bit like those rubber electrical grounding things people used to have on their cars.

Yeah I'm not sure still to be honest, they'll stay for now though

My wife has them on her car and likes them:

Would be interested to know how much wind deflecting they actually do. Especially in these days of aircon as nobody drives around with their windows open anymore.

I still do. Most of the time I prefer it especially at slow speeds. Once I pass 50 it's windows up and aircon on

Summer night with the windows rolled down is soooo nice.

+1 but with sun roof open at low speeds too.

This is a Hi-Res pic I took today at the new Snetterton 300 race track in Norfolk. Makes for a nice desktop...
