Great colour- looks great in the flesh. Me thinks the mrs will be getting a MK7 GT/GTD when her MK5 GT is due replacement

Very nice  :smiley:

You have the ACC radar in your front grill ... is that standard spec on the GT ?

Hi Jonny

Yes it's standard, It's also quite unnerving until you get used to it.

I don't usually like red cars, but that's stunning.

It wasn't the colour I was originally going to have, but when I went to the dealers he'd taken orders for 5 in white and 4 in the Urano grey, but none in sunset red and once I'd seen the sample colour in daylight, it was a no brainier, and it looks even better than I could have imagined especially in the sun.

Were you driving on the A1 in North Yorkshire yesterday around 11:30am? One that colour passed us and we commented how smart it looked. We were in a mates black Audi A1 but I doubt you would have noticed it

Lovely looking car mate, i'm not 100% sold on the colour but it looks good against the marakesh leather. :)

I would imagine it's putting faith in the car to brake for you if needed? It'll take me a while with my foot over the brake pedal to get used to it i think! :(

Exactly that, Thinking will it wont it brake, at the moment I'm still braking before the car, hopefully in time I'll come to trust it.
