neg's R
« on: February 17, 2013, 08:08:01 pm »
Well some of you may know after a lot of debating I finally gave in after running round in a Mini Cooper S works for just over 2 years (longer than planned but was great fun) I thought it was time to get back in a Golf.  Looked at GTI's and R's and even the latest mk7 but I couldn't wait until late Summer 2013 and still not being able to order one yet a mk6 it was.  Looking about I set my budget and kept an eye out ... after a couple of weeks one popped up which was more than I wanted, blew the budget but got a great spec'd car - even with the 'would be better' 5dr version - as I have 2 small kids I wasn't particularly wanting a 5dr but it was going to be easier - and has been.







Small update this weekend - black gloss front badge



Drive's really nice, got a great solid feel to it, very well built.  Power delivery is odd (bear with me), this being my first all wheel drive car too - the power just seems to appear, you don't get the thrust feel you get on the mapped EA888 TSI lump but its no slower by any means, it comes but just more disguised.  Once mapped I am sure it will let you know :wink:

Its got ACC too - which is brilliant, wasn't too bothered about this but so glad I've got it.

Had my dream options, never thought one would come up.

Only thing it doesn't have is cruise (easily fitted) and the sunroof.
