Interesting initial impressions Mr W.
Keep the observations coming!
Having taken it for a spirited spin last night what I did like is the rear is more frisky due to the rear over hang, similar to the Jetta back in the day so its actually fun
Good to hear your thoughts on the R Estate. Quite a few that have had the hatch too, say the exhaust sound is better on the estate. The ability to turn the Soundaktor down is a god send, and agree, CarPlay (App-connect) is great.
Glad you are liking it. Now, when is your next motor coming onto the driveway?
The rasp is great, M2 is due beginning of November, my R is tucked away for a few weeks then get it ready to find a new home.
The Estate is popping its Ikea cherry this evening
