thx.

 

Yup, like the looks, like the ride and all the gadgets too. :)

 

Just wish it would be more quiet too. I get a a very annoying hollow metallic sound (like having empty steel barrel inside the car) that I cant point out where it's coming from. The noise starts at about 20km/h speeds and stays the same regardless the speed I'm driving. Have put sound deadening in boot, under back seat, all doors and boot lid. That made a huge difference in overall road noise BUT made this metallic sound even more annoying! :dull:

Is it a diesel vrs 

 

Nope 1.8 Tsi L&K, and the sound is definitely not engine based.

 

Best guess at the moment is the roof vibrating at its natural frequency as the noise did seem to lower a bit when I put some stuff (a firm cardboard box) between roof and the dog/safety net (or what the hell that thing is called in english, koiraverkko in Finnish, thats between rear seat and boot, see pic below)

See that's a great car , but your wheels would suit it 

Used to be refurbisher on Ebay doing gloss black 19" turbine wheels @ £450 with your current wheels in PX, that was incl. of decent brand new rubber. I'll see if I can find you his details, can't find the picture I had right now so, I posted the only Merc model I like instead

Yup, In fact that was the first thing I did... 2 layers of STP Black Gold in whole boot.
