I'm still trying to learn the tech, but overall I'm really impressed with the car and so far has exceeded my expectations. Aesthetically appealing, power wise, could be better - but that's me comparing it to an actual MK7 GTI which I shouldn't. In saying that, it's still going to make you smile when you give it a bit of a squirt. Can't really comment on the handling just yet as I've only been able to drive around motorways and suburban streets.

I'm sure you won't be be disappointed!!

Current daily drive is a 2004 X-trail, so going to be a fair bit more power than I'm used to, keen on the tech as I love my gadgets, still haven't seen a 162tsi R-line up close only a 140tdi. Down to counting weeks, 6 until it arrives in the country, then a matter of days until I pick her up after the months of waiting, don't know how the guys who ordered last year waited so long.....

Well I didn't see/test any R Lines at all when I ordered back in Oct last year, not available yet. I was going into it blind. Then TDIs slowly trickling through and eventually the 162TSI. Aesthically the only difference between the 140TDI and 162 TSI is the TSI have the Trapezoidal chrome exhaust tips (purely cosmetic), whilst the TDI have the twin/dual exhaust. Also, having a little boy in between made it slightly more bearable! haha

But I feel your pain, I was checking the shipping website almost daily!

Would be good to see the difference with the opti coat. Not yet convinced on doing it. Did you also tint your front side windows?
