The Saudi Security Guard where I work - I work for a government agency - was very curious as he realised the alloys and look of the car didn't belong to a run-of-the-mill hatchback and asked me which country the car was from etc.. and then said 'qwais' which means 'good/cool' I took that as an endorsement :happy2:

Have you looked into the trackdays over there yet? I bet its a wildly different proposition to the UK!

The VW Salesman told me about trackdays although I will look into it carefully as people over here drive like pr*cks at the best of times and the last thing I want to do is total the car on a track :grin:

Well, once its run in, I won't need to worry about putting my foot down :signLOL: A full tank costs 30 Saudi Riyals - about 5 pounds - happy days :driver:

I guess that will have the hot climate kit on it too?

Having checked all the options, it doesn't seem much different to a UK almost fully loaded GTI. The I/C is larger, but it still has things like heating for the leather seats and rear fogs that I wouldn't have expected a Gulf spec car to have.
