New car arrived today

Featured Replies

So far I don't like;

Wing mirrors, too small

Accelerator pedal, it's no longer floor mounted, why change it?

No side compartments in the boot to hide all the junk you don't want out

Unless I'm missing something (haven't read the manual yet) I have to press the VRS button to switch modes? On my old one it was a simple drive or sport from a quick flick of the wrist. Now I have to press a button by the stick and then a button on the screen?

It doesn't want to brake in a straight line, it squirrels and dips and pitches. My old one pulls up flat and straight under heavy braking.

So far I do like;

The engine noise, even the piped in fake sound.

The acceleration is smoother

The car is a lot quieter

The stereo

The lights

The colour

You should probably reject it.

Retrofit VW Caddy wing mirrors?

HTH.

I may be wrong and knowing the way threads can go on this forum I'm sure many people will tell me if I am, but VRS 'sport' mode and DSG 'sport' mode are different things aren't they you can be in normal mode and sport dsg or sport mode and normal dsg.

 

It would be nice if putting either the gearbox or car into sport activated all 'sport' features.

Thats what the long wait does, you forget what the test drive was like.

Ah, that's where i went wrong. Never driven a 3 until today

:)

So I've read some of the manual now so it's really just the accelerator pedal location and mirrors I'm not liking but I've just got out of my old one today so I guess I'll get used to it.

I like the bendy lights thing now too.

:)

As above, sport mode on the DSG box is different to the vRS mode.

Agreed on the throttle pedal but you soon get used to it. I mourn the little cubby hole on the seat base personally.
