Took delivery this week, quartz grey petrol, manual. Polished and waxed today. 

 

 

Love quartz grey. Had it on my Mk3 vRS estate and loved how it changed colour in the light and also was a rare colour too. 
I’ve gone Meteor Grey this time, but still waiting for a build week. 
Your looks cracking mate. 

Here is my 1.0 e-tec with ST lowering springs and a Gyeon coating.

 

Only 7 weeks left until I switch to an Audi.

 

The 1.0 doesn't do it for me, I'm used to driving cars between 300 and 1500hp, this one even can't keep up with the average mom in her Vauxhall Meriva.

 

Petrol DSG 🤘

Had her 3 days and gave her a wash and a quick coat of Zaino Z2

Our new one ten days old.

1.5 TSI SE L Manual Estate. Race Blue.

Finally both are under the roof.

Of my last hadn’t have been Quartz Grey, I’d be getting it this time. Looks great. 

First impressions:
car feels pretty good, cornering is good, brakes are good, steering is numb as any electric one nowdays, engine feels powerful, dsg is ok, nothing more, once it finds right gear it goes, before that it does take some time.
we did almost 200km today after getting the car, i managed to push just around 170km/h, felt like nothing, i wanted more but saw police in waze and here we can only drive 90km/h.

interior seems fine for price, audio system is afterthought, they probably spent more time to create fake sound instead of making canton something more than stock sound system, that being said i do not think it is worth to get it,

now, my favourite topic- all these aids:

lane keep assist - it is annoying, we have pretty bad roads, so we do try to avoid some bad spots going around them and then car thinks i am falling asleep, and it starts to correct me, that is something i would like to keep off all the time for my own safety and my nerves.

next, emergency braking, i did not got any input from car other than flashing warning when i stopped aggressively after another car, but that is how we drive, so if that thing does not brake it is ok, it can flash i dont care about that,

ACC- that i liked, a lot, takes time to adjust myself and get used to controls but they are fine, and car seems to understand everything there, that is smart feature,

seats- after volvo, i could not find comfy position after 200km, will try tomorrow again, memory function is a bit dumb tho- in order to get to my settings i have to hold my assigned number, pressing is not good enough.

sound isolation, it is just ok, obviously not german quality but i will not travel 200km/h every day.

start stop - seems that this feature can be on, does not bother me much, works fine.

Tried to figure out PROFILES, since we will be 2 drivers, so tried to see if there is point to have them if they save seats/mirros, nothing worked yet, again will try tomorrow and see, since we had both keys in car

gas tank size is joke, not a deal braker but comparing to old cars 68L this is meh.

fake sound is - meh, i have it in normal mode as well.

things that i really like, digital dash is amazing, even waze navigation shows up there, BTW- android auto wireless, works flawless.

i had issues opening trunk with my feet, not sure why, i thing i have to learn that magic spot..

==========

Overall i am happy, especially considering price of the car. seems like a lot of things that are not so good, but i do understand that its 2021 and aids are there because people stopped thinking at some point so cars have to do that for us, and sound isolation etc, well i did pay just 30k, so that is ok. i would suggest this car for this price range for sure.

its midnight and it has been a long day, just wanted to give my opinion, i hope this is understandable

Thanks Janis, keep us updated with your impressions over the coming days/weeks. Car looks great. 👍🏼

Are the right wheels still intact?  Looks like they are really close to the curb. 

Congrats on your new car! I hope you will enjoy it at least as much as I do.

Very nice car!! Congrats and enjoy I live in Lithuania, and also occasionally have these issues with lane assist and driving around potholes but as I hold my wheel firm and turn sharp, usually it just vibrates and thats it

I have a question: How did you managed to put Waze in virtual cockpit ? I only get default navigation maps there...

Hi, 

Regarding lane assist, well if it gets annoying i can turn it off.. but thing is i have short drives usually and for them i just change driving mode, so there is no fake sound,.

now, regarding waze:

I cant remember where it showed up either in center of speedo or in the middle where clock is,  i might check at some point.

i just checked:
 

right scroll wheel on steering wheel push it to activate selection for dash, select this 'ring' and then scroll through selection and there you will have it,

as well once crossroad or whatever cis close you will have same sign in the middle where the clock is, but that will show up there for couple seconds, i was not able to capture..
and yes that is waze.
i do not use built navigation, since that does not show police or radars., same for music never listen to radio, i use spotify, and Skoda did great jot to integrate android auto into this dash. 
if you have questions ask me via message, since this is picture thread which we are spamming
