Nice :-)

So my new car was collected on Friday...190 dsg estate, style, in red...It's been turning heads all weekend...

It's replaced an octavia you 150 and is quite simply a major upgrade. The leather seats, sound system (standard btw), space and general comfort are great. The mrs has stated she's more impressed than she thought she would be - l think she was figuring on a slight improvement over the octavia but it's exceeded her expectations.

The gearbox has been the hardest adjustment for me...I'm still getting used to the dsg...have spent many years with various cars, trucks and tractors all manual so it's a bit strange. I am getting there though and can see it's uses - I'm still inclined to go for the gears when coming to a junction though.

I got the drive mode and paddles as extras but didn't do much with them yet as I'm trying to be good for the first few hundred km.
