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.
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 !? 
Most of this has been answered a few pages back but here goes:
- Exhaust is louder than the GTI, different rear muffler. More noise on WOT and great farts during full boost gear changes. Nothing silly mind you. You can still drive hard and not feel ashamed that everybody's looking at you with disgust.
- Seat-belts have a nice thin red line running across on both sides. Amazed as to how many non-car people that came in noticed and praised this.
- Bucket seats are amazing. Just excellent support but none of the discomfort that usually comes with other buckets, definitely seem to be non-punishing on long journeys (2hr so far without issues). Clubsport would feel half as special without them.
- I will tell you a little secret: The overboost doesn't seem to (practically) be there at all. I was also worried about it beforehand. Whenever you floor the throttle you just get a constant surge forward. On dyno runs with and without it, there has a been a mere 9bhp difference and all runs are showing 300+ bhp and always over 380 Nm. This means it is not the "25bhp ON / 10 sec / 25 bhp OFF" thing it was announced to be, but it has its own mind and comes on and off in a more gradual way. Bottom-line is whenever you floor it you will most probably end up with 290+ bhp under your right foot. VW is seriously misleading with the 265ps official value (still all the better for us).
Furthermore I timed 40-120mph (60-160km/h) runs with racing GPS equipment and on average the times are even a few tenths quicker than any R or S3 runs I've seen. Equal power and less weight are the only possible answer.
- B-road blasting is where the car feels at its best. The steering and corner grip is just amazing. Can't imagine I'd dare to go any faster than I'm going with this car, and it certainly feels I'm not yet at the limit, car doesn't even seem to sweat one bit (but Bridgestones do).
Obviously feeling is subjective but to me it feels more special than I'd ever imagine a "reasonably priced" super-hatch to be and definitely more than all the other cars I test-drove or went in (Cupra, Golf R, S3, 330i, Focus RS). The steering wheel is just a dream and all the alcantara bits and special touches (different GTI cell/texture) paired with the gorgeous buckets are making you look below the seat for a helmet...
