I dont know why , it just doesnt seem as nice to drive. I seem to struggle to change gear as smoothly as I did with my 50k mile 2005 , plus everything feels 'tight' , is it because its only got 19k miles on? Is there a difference in characteristic between the early and late 2.0 TFSi engine , I know they are two different engine codes , I'm wondering why I just cant get used to driving this , normally I gel with a new car within a few days and can drive it smoothly straight away , but I'm struggling with this 'un! MPG is worse than the 2005 car as well , as is the stereo , its got the silver button MP3 RCD300 but the deletion of the two speakers over the 05 spec has really hurt sound quality IMO - far too much treble and not enough bass and mid range. The thing looks damn nice though , I dont know if I should percivere with it or chop it in , I suppose a remap and a better head unit might help - or would just putting more miles on it help?
