That's what i am really looking forward to with the Gti now, don't get me wrong i absolutely love the Type R and like i have said i will be sad to see it go but i'm kind of at that stage where i don't hammer it around everywhere and actually prefer just cruising, but like others have said it's nice to have that power there when you need it. I have been so used to changing down into vtec to get going, which believe me i love, i will definitely miss that screaming iVtec engine, but it's going to be nice having the power so low down that i won't need to change so often to make progress.

Does everyone use the likes of vpower??

I always use Vpower, the shell is only 2 miles up the road from me and its usually the cheapest place for fuel in the area too.

How do I drive it? On the way to work I drive a granny so usually 60ish on the inside lane, but I live in North Wales and some of the best driving roads in the UK are only 15 20 mins away so I like to get her out and open her up a bit too!  :driver:

I only really drive mine at the weekends, I dont think it really matters what car you have, you will always drive it to your mood or to the urgency of where you want to get for example this weekend was running late on the way to goodwood revival, the roads near there are awesome so i gave it some beans, other days i just take it easy.

I also had a type R before the golf and i have to say the Golf is a lot easier (and more relaxing) to dirve hard, I miss the Type R's Frantic nature sometimes though, it was a blast but in nearly every way the golf is superior,
