Got mine today
Very happy with the car, only had 27kms on the clock when it was delivered, and is great to drive. The diesel feels a little different to the one in my old Passat - perhaps a little taller 1st/2nd gears as it feels a little less lively off the line - but the clutch engagement in the DSG is not as noticeable from a standing start either. And it's a bit quieter than the Passat was too I think (the turbo whine was quite noticeable).
Of course now it is raining and I want to take it for a drive... oh well, it'll wash off the dust it collected on it's travels over the ditch.
On first impressions (having done one trip into town and back) I like it a lot. The stereo sounds much better than the one in the Passat. The cruise control stalk is a bit more fiddly than the Passat's but I was expecting that. The seats are much nicer, and all the controls are much more responsive (not really a fair comparison with a 6 year old/125000km car though).
