I really like Isaac Blue.
Well done for finding a manual car which fits your criteria too.
The 7.5 will become as iconic as the mk2 and mk5 GTI’s; the last generation without the full on nanny aids but still benefits from the more useful modern tech, plus they look great too.  :cool:

Fantastic colour, fantastic car.

I have a 5 door manual in isaac blue with tartan interior- which I bought brand new in late December 2018.

It’s the only car I have ever bought brand new- and I won’t sell it.

Mine has a few less miles- 37k- and Dynaudio. Otherwise just like yours.

Gets less use now as I use bikes to get around- but it’s always satisfying to drive. It’s so good.

Mine will lose its “ full main dealer service history “ status this week when I do the oil change myself- but that’s fine by me.

Interested to see they’re still fetching strong money.

Well done @bristolgolfer- let us know your thoughts on the car.

Thanks guys. I am really excited. Bought unseen but when I saw the colour I knew I had to get it.

I’m glad I moved quickly, a second buyer tried to buy it later the same day but fortunately my wife told me to put the deposit down and not sleep on it as I was planning, I guess I married a good one!

 I have the reassurance of a 2 year VW warranty plus next 2 services for £99 which is pretty good. I’m going to get it ceramic coated before pick up as it will live outside and we have lots of trees in our road so will protect it against sap and bird poop.

I hopefully pick up on Friday and will report back with first impressions.

Nice one, hope you enjoy!
I picked mine up at same time as Yusee, ordered in June 2018 and had to wait 6 months due to the WLTP delays fiasco - worth the wait though.
Mines DSG, but apart from that, pretty similar with a bit fewer miles.
Stopped using main dealer for servicing on 3rd birthday and used local independent ever since.
Mines also a keeper - nearly 7 years old and still loving it👍

Cheers Adam. I’ve been busy arranging insurance and wasn’t as bad as I was anticipating. Only an extra £12/month over my knackered diesel focus. One of the only benefits of getting old!
