Meanwhile, the dealer called me back last week to let me know my front right wheel arch trim was here! I'd been waiting on the sales department to sort this out since delivery (almost a year ago now) and didn't expect the service department to do much better but hey - nice surprise!

No hiding my smile in that freshly detailed reflection...

Kinda hard to hit those numbers on a freeway trip unless you have NFI how to drive a car or there is something seriously messed up with the tune or hardware

umm no..

average mixed driving is 12.5L/100Km's.

freeway only run was around 8L/100km's.

The wife's Passat did the same trip with 5.1L/100km's....

What's a Passat doing in an R thread ?

Edit - thanks for agreeing on my response to foxxie though, hitting mid 12s is crazy (dumb) on freeway driving
