That looks lovely, I like the small touches with the red on the DSG Gear Knob, The mats look cool too with the red stripe do they have any branding on them Edition 40 etc?

My Big Questions are -

1.  Does it feel "special" enough to justify the price ?  Would it be special enough to run as a weekend car ?
2.  Does it feel quick enough i.e. is it all you need as a fun car - especially on B roads where power isn't everything
3.  Does the overboost really work !?  :laugh:

Yea i have the DCC, i had it on my last Gti so wanted it again
It does feel Special. Imo it looks different enough from the standard Gti, its powerfull enough for me, obviously ive only had it on the road a few hours since yesterday, I'll be testing it more over the next few days.

Hers a big question that owas a hot topic on other forums. Does the seat belt have a red trim down the side? (Although I should be finding out myself soon).

Also how comfortable or not are the seats? They look good but not sure how they would be on Long journeys.

Another question!  Does the exhaust sound any different to a standard GTI?  Thanks.

Yes the seat belt has red trim down both sides, The Dsg Gear Level also has a red trim, the seats are comfortable, i find them fine, although im not sure if i was a bigger man they might be a bit of a tight fit?
Im not sure on the exhaust tone so far, one thing im noticing is that there doesnt seem to be an actuator on the clubsport? maybe its just me, doesnt sound as false as the other Gti i had?
