Well just completed the test drive
. The car was a standard trim 3 door in Night Blue with no extras.
Initial impression of the interior where mixed when compared to my current Scirocco. I would have to say the Scirocco feels of a solid and higher build quality than the GTI. The seats are top notch, I love the tartan but the carbon fibre around the dials and radio looked cheap IMHO. The smaller radio screen also didn't help create the luxury feel I was expecting it was very low resolution
How did the car drive? In one word its excellent no complaints on that front. There is a defiant performance improvement over my 2011 2.0 TSI and the car only had 400 miles on the clock. Ride quality was brilliant and more than comparable with my current motor running in normal ACC mode. I honestly think the ACC is a waste of money when I think how often I use it in my current car (just being honest).
Night Blue what can I say its not a head turner I doubt most people in the street would even know you are driving a GTI it just looks like a plain old Golf. I didn't even mange one head turn at the traffic lights. Not a good sign.
All in all im still happy with my purchase. My build weeks is still 26 so role on the end of July...
