ahh, gotcha!  Thanks.  Stunning looking car.  Was in at my dealer on Sat and I've been told that my car is now week 27 build which is this week.  Starting to get excited!

Car looks great !

What I am dying to know (and no doubt many others) is how is the performance pack upgrade ?  In particular it would be great to know how the e diff feels on twist roads, can you feel the extra 10 BHP and how are the brakes ?

According to the test drives I have watched you can foot to the floor in sharp corners and it puts up to 100% power to the outside wheel.. would love to know how it feels from a new owner !

cheers

I'd love to know this as well but if he's flooring it round corners after 2 days of ownership I'd be very surprised.

Go on, you know you want to

I've already given the car a little bit of stick 

The steering is very impressive, as soon as you start to build up speed and go to turn in, it really gets heavy, and when just daudling its nice and light.

Power is also very good, much better than the mk6, seems to just keep coming, and the grip is very good in the corners.

You lot won't be disappointed at all!

I'm really trying not to resent you a bit for getting your car so quickly while mine sits in the "Processing your order" queue, but I can't help it.

You git!

Still pretending to be happy for you though, thanks for the pics, great looking car.

Exciting times. I'm collecting mine later on today, this work day cannot end quick enough!!!!

It looks damn nice in black too, best of luck with it.

Rag it - those Dunlop will be shagged on the first pothole you hit (sidewall bulge) - might as well give em a bit of a wear now. Went through 3 Dunlops in my first winter with my first  Scirocco for that very issue.

Also to know if you can feel the extra 10PS is going to be .... difficult.  What is the benchmark to judge this?  Needs a back to back test.  And that test needs to be blind, or psychologically speaking you'll probably feel the 10PS just because you expect to...

Objectively speaking I doubt many of us who picked the PP would be able to tell if the car was really fitted with it or not without those painted callipers.  And if you painted a non PP car the same and then sold it second hand I doubt anyone would suspect a thing.

Subjectively speaking... I ordered it anyway!

for everyday driving you will never see the 10bhp difference. track use you will, just...
