The CS-S delivery thread

Don't shoot me down but it looks like a gti with the R Pretoria's.

I have to say I agree. I'm sorry, it just doesn't look that special

It's not the looks that made it Evo Car of the Year runner up.

Everyone here seems to think that Evo is the be all and end all of car reviews

I think the press generally have raved about the Clubsport S as a whole so it's not just EVO's opinion but their amazing confidence in the car to put it 2nd ahead of some brilliant competition encapsulates just how exceptional this car is.

Having signed up for tracker alerts, I wasn't expecting anything to have changed when I checked just now,as not received any notifications BUT MINE HAS ARRIVED IN THE UK.

The African Highway docked at Sheerness yesterday so I assume that was when it landed.

Maybe it will be the first black UK CSS I see in photos or for real?

We PDI'd the one we have today, doesn't have app connect or voice control so I'd recommend getting them unlocked for £400 if you are on android like me. It does look like a GTI which is unsurprising but pictures don't do justice to the brakes which are huge and the tyres which are very sticky. Inside it is literally like a normal one with the seats ripped out. One thing to note is the noise it makes which is very nice.

If you are expecting it to be as different as an M3 is to a normal BMW you will be disappointed. I haven't driven it but the upgrades look like they will make it very fast and capable indeed.

Oh and Volkswizard GT4 has already got pics of his.

GT4 bring it on

No been interviewing for salespeople all day so only saw it as I went past it in the workshop and had a look and spoke to my salesmen who were testing the phone connection to check if it had app connect. Mine is Deep Black and should be here in the next few days, I wanted a pearl finish.

I am not sure if it's just me but I am staring to think this whole CS-S thing is becoming a bit of a Lemon and in 3 months when all the hype has subsided it will be just a basic GTi with no back seats to everyone but the GTi die hard fans ... I am seriously thinking of bailing out before mine gets to the dealership ??!!!

It doesn't look that special, I agree but I'm sure it'll be great on track which is where I plan to use it.

It feels lively. It'll be a hoot to bomb around in.

Sound well but not sure how much is synthesised.

Mine had a phone plug in thingy and it seems to have downloaded everything to the central unit.

Cage has arrived and I will look at it on Sunday when I'm back home

I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread

Blimey, you've changed your tune!

So what makes you think it's becoming a bit of a lemon?

It's still the fine driving tool it's been hyped about and black/white/red roofs don't make it go any faster/slower.
