More Pics and my first impressions
« on: 03 April 2010, 16:22 »
Picked my car up on Wednesday and done 300 miles approx. so here are my early thoughts on the options i chose.

Candy White - Looks fantastic, the best Colour in my opinion although it will be difficult to keep clean and mark's will show up easily.

DSG - Very different in character to a manual, but more relaxed to drive when driving normally which is 90% of the time. I'm pleased i picked this over the manual. I've tried out the S mode which is great for overtaking although i did get some wheelspin in the wet.

18" Monza's - suit's the car in white with the black insides and red calipers, everyone has commented on these and they all liked them.

ACC - Although the differences are small i think this is a great option. I can definately tell the difference between Sport, Normal and Comfort. It's been on comfort just about all the time so far which gives the best ride quality.

Bi-Xenon Lights - these make the car look better and are really bright. Much better than the lights on my previous cars. Expensive but worth it, especialy in the middle of winter on a dark wet motorway.

RCD 510 - nice to use and sound quality is good. Not used the CD or SD card slot yet. My son has had his MP3 player connected and loves scrolling through the tracks.

DAB - if you listen to the radio alot then again an option worth having. Lots of channels i used to listen to on crackly FM/AM are now in crystal clear digital sound.

Lux Pack - very useful keeps your mirrors folded in when required and the passenger kerb view adjustment is good when you are parking to prevent you hitting the kerb.

Bluetooth Phone Prep - used to have a bluetooth headset in my old car and it was a real pain. This option connects to your phone automatically when you switch your engine on and uses RSAP(remote sim) to get all your phone contacts. Easy to use and a good option.

Very nice, enjoy! I agree with you about the DSG: very nice, but expensive and I still can't understand why journalists say it's the 'perfect gerabox' - it isn't. Anyway, when are you going to fit the LED rear lights? :wink:

Lovely car BUT definitely not the  best colour :wink:, that accolade must go to deep black pearl which looks absolutely stunning on the GTI. :grin:

Enjoy tho.

No, no, no, my dearest Gizzy.
Red is number one as this is my colour and I am unanimous in my opinion!
White looks nice for 1 hour, black for 2 hours and Red forever and ever 'till death do us part! :laugh:
