Discussion
Have read loads of threads on those and always liked Golfs. I'm not the worlds greatest driver and I wanted something that just 'works' in most scenario's.
Its 9 months old, Tornado Red, DSG, non PP.
Picked it up yesterday and drive out to Commondale in the NY Moors. Such a blast. Its the newest thing I've ever owned and my first PCH agreement. Really happy I got one, its more than fast enough for me and it steers brilliantly. Really like the DSG, can't see me ever going back to a manual.
3 years time I trade up to an R
For now, I'm happy. Apologies for the pics, it was night and I only had an iPhone.
Cheers

Resurrecting an old thread as the red one has gone and the wife got her choice of a brand new car.

We bought this last year during VW's unfortunate cheating phase so we were offered keyless entry and the winter pack at no extra cost. The wife specced a sunroof, the upgraded audio and deep pearl black paint. Its a manual and I have to say I hate it. As a DSG, its a fun hot hatch, as a manual, I just don't like it. Thankfully, she has to drive it.
I still have to clean it though
. Its our first and last new car. Both of us feel uncomfortable throwing money away. Back to the 5K thread for us in the future ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
And yesterday, our faithful old steed went to a new owner. This car gave me so many fun memories, it was such a hoot to drive as a manual, I can't believe the 7 is so different.
