Nick-St 23 Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Picked up from the dealer on Saturday morning - great first impressions! Seems they've got the performance up to Golf R levels at the expense of fuel economy though if my short drives are anything to go by!! theskivingscholar, invisiblekid, BobbyT and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Penguin 1,809 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Looks lovely @Nick-St. There's one of these locally (in black) which I see most mornings and it really is a good looking car. Enjoy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martin2 1,034 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 That does look good. I passed one on the dual carriageway near Northampton yesterday and it looks good out on the road too. The only things I didn't really like was the big red reflector strip across the bumper and the chrome bumper/window trims, it would look better with a 'black pack' or even if it was satin chrome to match the mirror caps and roof rails. It had been 'washed' terribly, there were huge patches that had been missed and I hate to think how many swirls it had. But that's not the cars fault! I hope you continue to enjoy it!

Nick-St 23 Posted June 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Some more pics attached. The roof makes it feel very airy inside - with the blind closed it's surprising how dark it feels. Fuel economy on the few short trips I've done isn't great though! The HK speaker upgrade adds the variable boot floor which has 2 positions with the sub fitted. Still plenty of space around the sub to keep bits though. Even has a shaver socket in the boot for some reason! Booth11, Pinky1959 and bertie1249 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
