Ha! no worries, that was supposed to be a thumbs up emoticion but i got that wrong as well frown

I drove the TT today.

It was loaded to the hilt with extras looked lovely and fast, got in the cabin and it felt nice, started it up and went frown My first diesel so the brain was expecting a nicer sound.

Issues for me first off was the clutch was so light compared to my car that i was all over the place for the first 2 minutes. Once I got over that it had little or no pull away grunt but a nice torque through the gears. I drove it for 20 mins on some country roads and noticed that the ride was quite firm, firmer than I expected but not uncomfortable.

I just need to stop thinking of it as a sports car as it's clearly not with that engine. Other than that I was happy with it. Scirocco tomorrow.
A diesel is never going to sound that good in all honesty. I came from a lovely V6 with a nice burble to my diesel. Apart from when it's idling you hardly notice it's a diesel and it even gives a nice sporty rasp when you give it the beans.
