Hello,
Traded my Mk 6 GT for a 63plate GTD just over a month ago.
It is Tornado red with 19" Santiago's, winter pack, keyless and Discover Pro.
Really happy with the car. Biggest difference is the power delivery and how well for a diesel, the engine revs. Have enjoyed some good A and B road drives.
The radar cruise is really handy for motorway driving once I trusted the car to brake when approaching slower traffic.
The fit and finish seem on par with my Mk6, but there are a few rattles and groans (sometimes). The standard stereo does not seem to have the same punch as the Mk6 though.
Sat nav is better now it is set to detailed instructions instead of brief. The sat nav has frozen on me twice during two journeys. Switching the sat nav on and off whilst driving did not reset it. Only reset after the car had been parked up for a few hours. The maps are upto date now after downloading via the VW website.
The reading light in the driver's sun visor comes on all the time (even when the cover on the mirror is closed) when I use it. Is this right? The passenger side light only comes on if the cover on the mirror is open.
Should there be ambient lighting in the passenger footwell like the driver's side?
I tend to switch hill hold off when doing a lot of stop start driving. I have come home and the brakes smell like I have been really using them hard and not cooled them down afterwards. Seems to work on the front brakes.
I have really enjoyed the car so far.
Thanks
