Congrats Watts! A lovely looking example in a great spec, I hope your bank account recovers in time but your new car looks far better than what VW have in store to kill off ICE desirability once and for all

It’ll be different to your old car but not
too different, retaining most of the good bits, adding some better bits and some just plain different bits.
It took me a while to adjust to the TCR (and in fact I still am). The basic GTI is so good it’s not until you’re really pushing it that the additional handling and power becomes more than just a little bit of extra verve, but its forte is that there’s barely any trade off in normal regular use civility and economy despite a gradual but complete transformation when you take it by the scruff.
Wishing you many happy miles with the new car
