So, done 40 miles in it so far and very happy.
Drive is much nicer that my 120 was on road. Was doing 100 without realising it.
Quick comparison to the tourarag, the vw is more isolated. It's much more car-like than the LC. (Not a complaint, just obsivation)
Got most of the toys one needs; Radio, cd shuttle, hard drive for mp3s, trip info etc.
Sound system and sound is amazing!
Don't have any non-scratchy lanes around here were i can play so will have to wait for Lincomb.
one very impressive thing is the lack of body roll. Has some gadgetry which stiffens the ARB if two wheels move up or down at the same time bur relaxes it if only one. The result is very very little roll goung round round-a-bouts.
So far, very happy.
No mods folks. Close the book (for about a year)
Oh!!
It comes with an invertor built in to the boot!

Very nice.. Not at all jealous....
Cool - so KDSS and ATRAC 3 then?
Congratulations! Many happy adventures a head. I reckon you'll have enough fun with it just as Mr T has spec'd it. You must have a grin from ear to ear, we all know the feel good factor when we get a new toy. Enjoy!

Well done Crispin.
A brand new car to get muddy and scratch up...
(sorry!)
Has to be tyres... a nice set of 35s should do the trick for a wet and snowy winter

Not sure where my 120 will end up Rob. It's off the the auctions, let's hope it finds a good home and makes its way back here.
So with all the rain we had last night, I went down via the local stream, which floods when a hedgehog pees in it, to pick up my daughter. It's a magnet I tell ya!
Nothing more than rim deep flooding this morning so only able to make a few splashes.
I. Will. Not. Mod. It.
All in all, really chuffed with how it drives. A few "weird" feelings in drive train but guessing that's because it's still sub 100 miles on the clock.
One thing I noticed though, gear changes are, if driving normally, hardly noticeable except for 1st to 2nd. That, most of the time, lets you know you've changed gear. All other changes are very smooth. Having not had a "normal" auto before, I don't really know what to expect from them.
It also gets a bit undecided when climbing a hill. It seems to want to keep in a low gear and then kicks down when it gets a bit sluggish. Once it livens up, it then changes again and seems rather indecisive on what it really wants.
Who's this DannySon chap? I doubt my account still works over there, might even be rigged up to a big alarm bell.
