Must admit I have come back to the car in town with people looking around it. Normally a conversation with whoever is looking follows asking me all about it. Does make you feel good I suppose and why you spend extra on the anniversary models. Certainly not many on the road so when people see them they tend to look. Plus the white and grey models really do hit the spot in my opinion.
I was talking to the dealer who sold me mine and they only got 1 x 45 so think they will be desirable in time.
My 4 months of driving it I love it, really well built and performance is really good. Would I change anything….well yes I would. My car does not have DCC so the ride is ultra on the firm side all the time and i can’t dial it out for longer trips. I also find that the tyres can’t grip when dumping power onto a wet surface. Literally feather the gas and wheels are spinning like mad. Golf R drivers don’t have that issue. That said dry road and less weight really means it flies once your up and running and feels far nimbler than the R’s I have drove.
Out of interest has anyone else noticed the AKRO takes a while to get going? Maybe it’s just me, but mine takes 5 mins or so before it starts to pop and crackle. Sport Mode gets it there a bit quicker mind.
O and if anyone is wondering (which you’re probably not as it’s a sports car) I had 40mpg on a run up to Leeds in it. Had it in eco mode for a while, but was impressed with that.
