Had a quick blast yesterday on some B roads and what can I say: it's an awesome car. It looks fast, it feels fast from the first gear, nothing to moan about. Can't wait to go past 1000 miles to be able to put the foot to the floor and see what she can do.
As a coincidence, today I've got a company car from work over the weekend as I need to travel on sunday (work interest) and it is a 14 plate Golf bluemotion (diesel). Was impresed with the way it accelerates for a diesel. However the difference in feeling at the interior was major compared to the GTI.
