Oh man...
back to topic.
79 miles on the clock and loving every minute. It can return over 50mpg with only that many miles on it too. I have done it. But the pedal keeps getting pushed, gotta run the engine in a bit.
The wing mirror dipping when reverse parking is cool, at least its worth it once if it stops that accidental scuff. I didn't realise too if you press and hold the boot button it pops the boot (mk5 didn't do this), but unfortunatly it doesn't spring open. I have read all the way to page 200 of the manual still got another 100 odd pages to go. The dynaudio has definetly got better with time and loosened up alot. It still turns heads and really rolls along the road when you can't be bothered to motor. Seems to free wheel in gear much farther than the mk5 did too. The fuel guage has just started to move and the range is increasing to 450 ish at the mo. The oil takes longer than you would think before it gets to operating temp.
But most importantly it makes me smile - and thats what a car should do.
Motor on everybody.
