the 140 engine has a fair amount of grunt. Remaped it is superb 
I only get about 450 miles out a full tank (£73) but then i drive like its been stolen most of the time 
That's a fair bit of kit you get as standard.
Can I ask how much you got it for if you don't mind me asking 
The only thing I would add is the rear camera. Its superb. Its one of those things you think will be a gimmick but then can't live without once you start to use it.

Sounds like a great deal 

I think you'll be quite chuffed with the grunt of the 140 engine. As others have said it has good mapping potential but even standard it will be much quicker than a mere 80hp.

I've gone the other way today, and been left with a 1.4 80PS Golf S, while my Passat goes in for the dealer to try and rectify the monumental mess they made of carrying out some warranty paintwork.

Trust me, when you get your new car, you'll love it. The 1.4's is light years behind the 2.0TDI in terms of performance, and the S spec is about as basic as it gets these days. The feel of the plastic steering wheel and gear knob are horrid and feel very low rate compared to the leather items in the Match.

Cheers for your replies, i think im jus going to stick with VW as i got a cracking discount, 1500 finance contribution and a real good trade in price, really happy with the deal I think i will call tomorrow and spec on dynaudio, it sounds like £380 well spent.

dubber36, those tail pipes look 10 times better, can these be bought on ebay? Are they easy to fit? I think ill be getting these myself Also, whats the mpg like on these? The guy mentioned nearly 70mpg extra urban but VW do go a bit wild with these figures lol

Gonna be a long 2/3 months

Dynaudio is very good IMO. Not heard without but start buying amps ,speakers , and fitting to get the same is gona be a damn site more then the £380 

Dynaudio is a good option I had a Golf GTI on loan with it fitted and it did sound much better than the std set up. The real difference is when you are crusing at higher speeds and need to turn up the volume as the system can just deliver without getting tiresome. I didn't spec it personally as I dont do enough long trips at motorway speeds to justify the expence.

Dyneaudio is a cracking package not only do you get true audiophile speakers from a high end hifi company but you get a 200 watt amp below your seat.
This dose not mean you need to be a teenager but it means you can listen to top quality sound at any level. Recommended.

is that right that you get an additional amp in addition to the one in the head-unit? Damn it, would have specced it, knowing that!

yep, under passenger seat, hence my post earlier saying

"Dynaudio is very good IMO. Not heard without but start buying amps ,speakers , and fitting to get the same is gona be a damn site more then the £380"

Well if your going to be sarcy (As I probably would too) I will have to pull out the flaw in your logic.  In that your sentence doesn't say the dyna audio has a seperate amp, it merely implies that you would need one if you were to boost sound quality.

So JOG ON Kitty!!!!!!
