Picked the car up today and cannot stop smiling
Day did not start well as i could not find the spare key for my PX so they charged me £100
Said key has now been found in a shoe at the bottom of my wardrobe?
?? Refund for that first thing tomorrow i think!
Anyway the car.
Over the last 5 years i have had a few cars including 2 X Civic type R's and a focus ST but the Golf blows them all into next week!!
The white had me a bit worried but all i can say now is i am glad i went for it (It needs a wash already after 65 miles) - The car drives so well with a solid planted feel from the off and really inspires confidence in its abilities. Im not one to mess about with running in regeimes so i have tested its metal already and i am very surprised by just how quick the car moves - The DSG is a marvel although will take getting used to having no clutch pedal i have tried to press the non existent clutch a few times and grabbed the shifter to change gear :embarassed:
I was sceptical about the ACC but as the car had it on i had no choice but it really gives three noticable differences to the ride firmness although £700 is a lot for a function which should be standard on this car.
Altogether i am truely chuffed to bits with the car and how it drives.
One word of caution though with these wet roads at the moment i found the power caught me out once or twice as it is almost instant! May just be me coming from a diesel car - Anyway hope the roads dry off for tomorrow so i can go for a drive through the Brecon Beacons and have some fun
I will try to get some photos too if anyone is interested.
