I feel sorry for whoever owns this car. Hopefully it's comprehensively insured and that the policy has new for old replacement.

Looks like it's done it's job of protecting it's occupants.

Yep, hope they get a new one to replace it.
But will be a long wait again.

in my experience so far- three weeks now there are two things I don't like about the car:

All the assistance stuff - and the beeping that comes with it. I've now turned off every thing I can (short ordering and OBDeleven or VCDS) or turned down everything i can't turn off. If I can't drive, or park by now I never will be able to. I can see lane assist as being useful on long highway trips and will turn it back on on the rare occasion I need it.

The other thing that really annoys me is the speed at which the seat belts retract - if your not careful they almost take your head off and are quite capable of punching a hole in the door card. Its like they have been tensioned to launch an F/A 18 off the USS Enterprise.

That's it two complaints......

Thanks mac135.
I'll look out for the decapitation devices. Might take some "mates" for a test run. Ha ha.

I was tempted to post it under the delivery thread, telling people to inspect their cars predelivery ��

Here is a couple of cool features I have discovered after about a month of having my 162TSI:

Was getting a bit low on petrol today so thought I would put it in Eco mode for the first time to see if I could stretch out what was left in the tank. Was surprised how well it still drove in Eco mode, was expecting it to sluggish as hell but it still took off from the lights well. It was a bit slower to change down in gear when accelerating but by no means horrible to drive. It was also interesting to see that when you get up to speed and take you foot off the gas pedal it disengages gear and coasts at about 800rpm, as soon as you touch the accelerator or break pedal it instantly kicks back in.

When the fuel light did come on you get a nice message up on the infotainment screen offering to find the nearest petrol station:



Another small but nice touch that I hadn't noticed until today is that when the fuel light is on, the fuel gauge in the Active Info Display changes to show you how many kms left on the tank:



This is what makes me really enjoy the car, constantly finding new things that I didn't know about even after reading everything for 6 months while waiting for the car to arrive.
