1) I like the heated seats at 6.15am in the morning :kiss:
2) I also like the whistling sound the turbo makes :kiss: when it is warmed up (I close the windows, turn off the radio, and listen to the turbo whistle, which starts from about 1800 rpm to 2300 rpm in 3rd and 4th gear. It is also discernible in 6th gear up to 3000 rpm. I think I will buy the new intake even if it gives 0hp on a WHITE GTI :smiley:, as long as the whistle is made louder!) :kiss:
It sounds like the speckled band from "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" bu A.C. Doyle :smiley:
3) I also like the "silver band" on the rims :kiss: Always look at the car in the shop windows driving by :embarassed:
P.S. When I say GTI for some reason I think of the word jedi :huh:

Ahhhh,
Whilst I was looking for the output for the Carbonio, one site had a sound clip. Go on the link and the sound clip is just before the application list. :cool:

For me, it is the top end ooomph in second and third on a sweeping B road...Heaven :drool:

I think I mix up things. The whistle is made by turbo spooling up, not by intake. :embarassed:
-
mine is the burp you get from the exhaust when you fool the DSG into change up/down, blipping the accelerator hard then total lift off the peddle.
secondly would be the sound of the turbo on accelation
-
Its been resting in the garage instead clocking up yet even more mileage - temp respite only though as I have just arrived back from Jordan and its going for a drive to Wales tomorow, then Northampton, then Wales, then Birmingham and back to Ipswich :rolleyes: poor thing... :grin:
-
I like the turbo sound..... And that no matter how fast you go through a corner the tyres refuse to squeel.... :evil: (Stupid things)

Completely forget that I have heated seats until I read your post yesterday :embarassed:
Needed them this morning - what a strange sensation though!
-
I turn off the climate and radio and put the windows down. Then i knock the car into 2nd gear and put my foot down as i go under a tunnel or an interchange. The echo is just :laugh:
People look to see a super car :grin:
-
alanH, you may wanna keep your warm sensations private!! :laugh:
-
You're probably right :grin: First time I've had heated seats, so I probably need some time to get used to that warm, tingling feeling. At least, I hope it's the seat that's causing that...

The rockinghams - so easy to clean! :smug:
-
I love the really mechanical sounding induction roar I hear when I floor the throttle since I fitted my Carbonio intake.
-
Love:
The look of it
The sound of it
The feel of it (acceleration rather than stroking it :evil:)
Love pretty much everything about it (except the visits to the petrol pumps :rolleyes:!!)

155mph.
30mpg.
Build quality (ish).
Feel good factor.
Chavless image!
"Bloody hell" acceleration (Edition 30).
Endless incredibly thoughtfull touches.
The fact that it would cost 30k more to get anything significantly better.
Low depreciation.
The fact that for the money it is the very best car in the real world.
