Another one on the road
« on: 12 September 2009, 20:09 »
Collected on Friday, already has 120 miles:)

So far, so good. I'm happy with DSG and 18" wheels. DSG makes a very nice sound when changing gears...
Sensors useful as I already had to negotiate a couple of narrow passes. I tried the park assist (automatic parallel parking) - works and it is a fantastic way to impress a lady :cool:
ACC - no noticable difference between normal and comfort, sport setting makes the steering wheel stiffer.
Dynaudio - so far I've taken it to about 50% of max volume and it was fantastic.
RNS 510 - good, quick to recalculate new route, I got the latest maps (V5). I like that you can point on the map (with your finger) the place you want to go.
I try not to rev it to more then 4000 (5000 max :)) for the first 600 miles or so and I can't tell how it performs near the red line but even that is enough.

But the best part was hearing people on the street saying "Dad, look!" and "GTI, GTI!"

Plus I got my bottle opener! :) Although I didn't get the GTI mats (with red edging) - there were just normal black. My dealer said all GTIs (and GTDs) come with black mats. I'd like to know if you guys got yours.
Fuel con - 30 mpg on avg, in the range between 29 after start and 32 on the way back. Can live with that.
There is a couple of rattles coming from left, right and steering wheel (or combimeter) but hopefully that will be sorted at some point.

Picture coming here (my first so I hope it works...)

Mate, I reckon learning to park on your own would impress the ladies more!

Anyway, welcome, sweet spec, enjoy!
