Having only been able to read this thread for some time (lots of great tips mind) I can finally take a more active interest! Collected my GTI today and went for a nice day out! So far driven it as only a granny would but did manage an average of 36.7 mpg! Love it so far but as someone who is not into all the computerised bits and bobs, I'm struggling a bit with all the gadgets. Will consider a few accessories to begin with, mud flaps and wind deflectors. Has anyone fitted the wind deflectors? Do they reduce buffeting?
