vRS 1.4 TSI DSG 5dr Auto Estate

so far so good....

The engine initially sells this car...interesting super charger/turbo combo,chain cam, powerful, high tech but with proven reliability record, economical with lowish CO2 emissions. Then add the novelty of a super slick 7 speed DSG gearbox...changes are almost imperceptible. Put it in an estate body with a nice big boot and you're in an exclusive market. Mix in a very competitive price and handy, reputable dealers and the car is on your drive before you can say car mats.
The styling is a little dull, the inside is dark, there are are some hard surfaces but does any of this matter......not one jot in my opinion.
Build quality is so far excellent...up there with my previous Honda.
Seating excellent...very comfy
Economy is just over 40 mpg. I haven't touched 5000+ rpm yet and probably rarely will.
Pleased so far and am even getting the hang of left foot braking!
