Well I got my vehicle reg doc through today so am the proud owner of a lovely red CS that I have never seen, clapped eyes on, sat in or driven..

Think I have run out of you tube reviews to convince myself it will be worth it ! 

Anyway it is in storage for a couple of months at the dealer as I don't want to put it on the road in winter so looking forward to going to see it in a few weeks. 

Review online  seem very positive and even the piston heads drive of the CSS half concluded the CS might be a better all round proposition given it has most of the tasty bits without losing rear seats etc.  time will tell anyway but hope this Gti will be a long term keeper.

I can't possibly imagine how you won't love it, especially if you appreciate a truly sporty ride.  The car is set-up so well, the steering is direct and precise and the chassis balance just sweet. Let alone the looks part.

Also, three days ago I came back from vacation and driving way lesser cars (painful). Took it for a spirited drive that same day and the sound of the engine during acceleration was intoxicating (hadn't particularly noticed that before) while the exhaust was on full song not only during upshifts (DSG) but also when suddenly letting off the throttle (pops and crackles  :smiley:)

PS. Irrelevant maybe for some, but did I say that it will happily carry 4 of us, with 2 suitcases and a stroller in the boot?  :wink:
