My subjective top 5 are:

1: DCC: It has a sublime ride for a car like this when in Comfort mode. I have too large a beer belly to be thrown about on a daily basis these days, and everything sharpens up nicely in the other modes when I feel like it.
2: Panoramic roof: It is great having this open, and so little buffeting.
3: Electronic handbrake/hill hold/stop start: I really like this now, but I was initially apprehensive and confused as to how it all worked
4: Dynaudio: The best sound system upgrade I've ever optioned
5: Economy: Faster driving is nearer 35mpg than 30mpg for me - result! The long term average is approaching 37mpg. However, my trips are seldom less than 20 miles

If I could have a sixth choice it would be keyless.


GTi Reflex Silver 5 door DSG: Sat Nav Pro; Dynaudio; Panoramic Roof; ACC; Keyless; Winter Pack; Reversing Camera

My top 5

1. The looks of the car. Nothing makes me happier than seeing it shining under light after a wash. I think its a stunningly good looking car. Really happy with the 19s too even though they're a bit of a pain to clean.

2. The performance. Although I'm probably in the minority I think this car is very capable. Perofmance is refined but definitely very grippy. Think when I install a tuning box it'll be even better.

3. The interior. I'm a big fan of the titan black headlining and the tartan cloth. The lighting is sublime too. The white light a really set the interior off.

4. The MPG. Again think I'm in the minority but i regularly gets high 40s to low 50s now on my journeys. Averaging 51MPG long term now too.

5. The infotainment system. Its a bit sh!te that they won't let me install POIs on the basic nav but the rest of it is good. Nice clear maps, fast to work and the traffic system seems to be pretty good. Not perfect but good enough.

After a week and a half of having my GTI here are my top 5
1: Adaptive cruise control - Love it, my commute to work is about 45mins of stop start on the m25, so I really like being able to set it on and then only worry about where the car is pointing. Brilliant tech.
2: Heated seats - never had them, its getting cold in the mornings.
3: Bendy lights - they see round corners. fantastic.
4: The smell - lovely and new car smell.
5: The pace of the car - my old car was a 1.6 Honda civic, so its great to be able to put your foot down and get past people.
