So yesterday I swapped the wife’s Mercedes for a Mk7.5 Golf, the lad has passed his driving test at last! 12 months delay due to lockdown.
We needed something with a smaller engine to get him insured on, so It’s only a GT 1.5 TSi, however its nicely loaded with kit. It’s an Estate, with Pano roof, dynaudio, factory fitted swing tow bar (very cool), Discovery nav Pro 9.2, climate windscreen, reverse camera, upgraded 18” alloys, LED headlights with dynamic curve, lane assist, high beam assist and the winter pack.
It’s a very nice vehicle, just without the poke of our GTI. With the tow bar we are going to carry our bikes on the back rather than the roof, so that should be very easy and handy. The estate will be a very useful load carrier with the lad starting University this year.
