Thanks to all TCR owners for arousing my interest & giving helpful information, especially Exonian & Kpow99 (for his thoughts a while ago on buying what you feel, as we are only here once).
Just in the throws of changing my 2019 PP for a TCR. Hopefully looking to collect it Friday.
Will update with full spec once in my grubby mitts, but very excited!! :laugh:
Cheers, Chas.

Happy to help and good luck. You won’t regret it at all. Daily smile every time I get in 😁😁😁

Funny thing just happened. Wife got home and said there was a man walking past the house and he slowed down and stopped and was looking at the house, then realised he was looking at your car! 🙈🤣🤣

Hi All,
Well I did collect my TCR yesterday, photos below.
Im very pleased with how it drives and looks. Just need to master the DSG box now, as Ive only owned manual's in the past. Cheers, Chas.

Looks great.  :cool:

Sounds like a fantastic spec too.

It was my first car that wasn’t a manual box also. I do miss the manual, but only very occasionally, and once you are used to the TCR for the other times it’s so much better.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the club! Well done and glad you got what you wanted.

Put in sport mode and slot that stick in to manual and it’s a lot of fun!

The rev will red line but it will still change up automatically to protect rather than “bouncing” on the stopper. Makes it noisy and fast lol. Get a stage 1 and even more so!

Thanks guys for all your comments & support.
Haven’t driven it today, just updated the radio stations & logos. Totally agree about the appealing looks, so much more aggressive than my previous 245 PP. Cheers, Chas.

I know what you mean 🤣🤣 had another GTI driver pull over and let me pass before pulling in behind me today, gave him a flash of hazards. Then pulled up next to me at lights lol

Just wondering if anyone with a tcr with the akra can tell me what the exhaust is like in everyday use? Does it drone on motorways or can it be fairly civilised?
