So Sth Africa gets the lighter/nicer rims and you can option the Recaros. Australia folks.

Ever since I put my order in I've been scouring YouTube for videos of Red CS's (as this is what I've ordered) I think this is my favourite so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLB5xwtVDl0

Agreed this is another good vid, there are a few now but yet to see a head to head vs the R. Even though it appears to be better over all.

The red does grow on me but I think I'd still go for white.

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing that head to head. The Red was the first I saw and fell in love with it straight away, besides I had a white GT Forester years ago and it was an accident magnet, seven in the ten years I owned it, not one of them my fault.

Haven't seen a red in person yet TBH. But from what I've seen its nice. I've had white polo and current white Gti. Before that was yellow and red. I could go back to red but it tends to fade bad over time. Plus I'm a sucker for the combo red/white/black.

When's yours arrive?

Yeah I was a bit worried about fading, I've been looking at Opti-coat to try and alleviate the issue, but think I'll just have to pay more attention polish/wax the paintwork. Spoke to the dealer today and it has arrived but I asked for a delayed mid September hand over so I could raise some additional capital to payout my existing lease early so as to not be paying two leases at once.

I'm the least "red-car" person out there (unless very very few specific exceptions, a Golf not being amongst them) but that video almost made me question my color choice of carbon steel grey... (although too late for that!).

At last a video that does the Clubsport's muscular lines/overall look some good, what a lovely looking car

I hear what you're saying, I've had a few whites, two blacks a gun metal grey but never red, when I first looked at it in the showroom it just looked right. And yes the videography just makes it look better.

That interior and in particular the steering wheel was what sold me, looks and feels awesome in the hands.

Still not as good as it looks in the flesh though, isn't it?
