Primer sounds awesome! Think I might switch the colour on my order.  Is it a hidden option on the configurator?

You won't be disappointed, always looks clean.

 

This is my Pre FL 230  original number plate and my private plate.

The black spoiler looks great.

Thank you, 

 

The service manager at my local dealers has a 245 Vrs in Meteor Grey, looks rather bland, no panoramic roof/black roof and a grey spoiler.

I think the Black bits compliment the Meteor Grey

Turns out the 245 DSG can do decent MPG when given the chance. First longish trip today, i did briefly get it up to 48.5

Great work! I managed 55.9mpg in my 220 DSG last week. They are capable of being frugal on longer steady journeys

yep, the bigger engine size seems to help compared to my old fabia vrs. No need for it to shift into 6th for motorway overtakes. Just ride the torque in 7th, Barely over 1500 rpm.

...............and the wing mirrors and the shark fin and the wheels and the grill and the brake calipers and if you turn the grey over it's black

Pick mine up Thursday. Did you run it in much?

Yes, 500ish miles of varied loads and revs up to 4k rpm, then todays trip took me over the magic 600 miles that the hand book says.

Right. Guess it's a 600 mile round trip of slow driving Thursday then!

I wouldn't keep it slow for all of the 600 miles, it would be a good idea to vary it like I've done. Up to you though!

A green score of 81? You're not trying hard enough 

Help please.

 

If anyone here has a 7-speed DSG, I'd like to know the rpms / speeds in the  higher gears.

 

I.E. the speed (from the digital speedo) at say 2k rpms in each  of the top 3/4 ratios.

 

I'm trying to compare the vRS 245 gearing with our current 6-speed DSG cars ( 3k rpms = 77 mph in the Superb, 80 mph in the Golf &  95  mph (!) in the EOS, all in top gear.

 

TIA DC

The trouble is the digital speedo shows the same speed as the analogue speedo which can legally be up to 10% out.

 

meteor grey is easily the best colour, definitely the least common colour. never ever looks dirty.

Probably true, but it's much easier to read the digital speedo................
