« Last post by Watts on Today at 20:21 »I miss not having to switch things off before every drive. The nice deep exhaust note. But, although not as noisy, the Akra has a great tone. The CS seats are better, the ride a lot less crashy and the throttle response sharper. It's a much improved car.

« Last post by Paul70 on Today at 19:40 »I’ve been on the fence with what to do regarding whether to order or not, but sitting in a standard 8.5 GTI sold me - it just feels right and I never got that with the RS3. Plus even the standard 8.5 GTI drives really well, so looking forward to driving the ED50.
I have a pretty high NVH tolerance so not worried about what the PP will drive like on UK roads. Personally I would not order an ED50 without PP.
That's why I got a CS, it also felt right to me too. Very annoying as I really fancied something different. As for ride quality, I'd be surprised if it doesn't exceed your expectations, mine rides beautifully, really comfortable. Probably why I've put over 5k miles on it in less than 4 months...
Good to hear and glad you are enjoying it! Do you miss anything about thr TCR?

« Last post by Paul70 on Today at 18:35 »I’m still baffled as to why the alcantara steering wheel isn’t a UK option. Can’t think of any logical reason why not!
Me too but there of plenty of companies that offer that service.

Delivery timeline is May but none of the orders are scheduled so quite a few unknowns.
