Your dad must have a massive smile on his face
Looks outstanding! Thanks so much for the pics
He is very impressed with the way it drives and all the toys - it is a massive jump from the MK5 GT 170TDI. The handling, the smoothness of the ride and the power delivery is massively better than the PD unit. My dad clogged it a little on the way back from the dealership and said that the pick-up in pace was more impressive than his old one with the tuning box on it (it's a proper tuning box, not one of those £17 reisistor/MAF fooling jobbies off ebay) which is kicking out 205PS (with far less smooth power delivery). I think he must've been tonking it back from Sunderland as his trip computer (8 mile trip) was only showing 36mpg!
It felt a subtle improvement in handling over my Scirocco when I drove it, not by much, but then I only took it to 40mph going around the doors locally to pick up a takeaway after the external stuff was done.
Found it odd that they hadn't cancelled out all the ACC setting tweaks in the menu when the car hasn't got ACC fitted (was expecting them to be missing altogether or greyed out to exclude selection).
