After 3000 miles I’m yet to get any rattles apart from the panel on the end of the dash (drivers side) buzzing slightly, fixed it with some thin foam tape around the edge of the opening, I had exactly the same noise from the same place on my old mk8 and mk7, and one of my mk6’s I think! It’s fine now, as for the screen, it did feel big at the start, but now seems normal and I don’t feel it intrudes at all, in fact, having sat back in a Mk8 recently, the mk8 screen feels decidedly small, and dare I say…. sh!te! 😬
Oh, and Kings Red rarely looked good in my opinion, not what I expected at all. It was an absolute no no when I chose the spec of my 8.5.
