I've 'camped' on the backseat of my GTI a few times. I find the best thing to do is have quite a few beers, or you're bound to wake up at 3am with your bent legs aching! :D

Car rides well but can seem stiff at times. I'm from Edinburgh where the roads have to be some of the worst! I think the general consensus is the 18" Monza II alloys are considerably more uncomfortable than the 17" Monza alloys. Also tyres will make a difference too

Well, folks, Santa visited me and he dropped me my new wheels...
Geez, I'm so embarrassed I don't even know where to start...It's a bit...far from what I expected. It's a Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCi (diesel).  :sad:
I don't really know what happened, but I suspect the wife had a talk with Santa and told him I was a bad boy.  :embarassed:

It is slightly jiggly but not overly so. My belly jiggles on some roads. In my old Saxo this never happened.
