Morning all,

New to the forum but have followed topics with interest for a while.

Now on my second octy first was the 1.4 TSI SE Plus estate and loved it. Practical and full of extras. Just taken delivery of a new estate the VRS Blackline and love it even more - puts the fun back into driving and is a real head turner.

Regards

Happy owner

Welcome to the forum. I went down exactly the same route as you last October, only difference being I'be got the manual hatch so I know what you mean. Not having the MFSW is about the only thing I occasionally miss and if I did have it I'd probably get the bluetioth set up for my phone. Overall though that's about it, for everyhing else the BL ticks all my boxes. There's loads of threads on the blackline and vRS in general so you should find the answers to any questions you have. If not start a post!

What color is it (on my phone so can't see your avatar)

It's the blue one - the garage I bought it from is enabling the Bluetooth on Friday and fitting the loom and mic cable that I have bought from Ed off the forum. Best of all they are doing it FOC !!!
