I was meant to be looking at Volvo XC60s, but then I made the mistake of reading that huge golf r lease thread and well the rest is history.

So glad I went for it, it is superb!

I don't supposed you were parked in Brentwood Sainsburys car park last Saturday by any chance?

I stopped to admire a red Golf R as I went to get a ticket.

No not me, I only picked the car up on Wednesday.

How did you get black door mirrors, that's the only thing I don't like about mine?

Nearly 3000 miles under its belt now, and not a great deal to report. It does the school run, takes rubbish to the tip, supermarket trips and a holiday to the Lake District. It's comfortable, nothing as gone wrong or fallen off, it's happy going slowly as well as going fast and economical too. As an all round everyday car it's hard to fault.

Managed 40mpg on a 200 mile trip the other day, not bad at all!

You're not using it right!

Lol, I'm regularly seeing mid 30s around town too. Mainly because I have misses and my 2 children in the car 95% of the time.
