Well I picked this up in Adelaide early Monday morning, and spent the next three days driving it back home.



Why Adelaide? Right car, right price, and managed to get the Skoda 5 year warranty / 2.8% finance deal on it.

Well this is the first time I have ever bought a car just on the reviews, without a test drive, and I have to say I'm beyond happy with it. Peppier than I hoped, still able to handle a corner, and looks so cool in the flesh. Amazed at the attention it gets.

I'm still getting my head around all the gadgets, but must say I'm loving the DSG / TDI combination. Whilst hopping back in the GT TDI suddenly feels like a much more willing go cart, I have to admit the 103 is plenty impressive stock with the extra weight. When you read the specs of 10 seconds to 100kph, well I was ready for Miss Daisy, and whilst I'm no longer lining up HSV's, it goes bloody well for what it is.

Can't rate the cars quirky cool factor, and even when at the combined Skoda / VW dealer signing the paperwork, when walking through the various new VW's, well, I was stoked to be buying something different.
